What is the great Purana here? The offering was made with many jewels, gold and water. The foot-washing water was of jewels, the lamps were of jewels, the Akshata was of pearls. ||16|| The oblation was of nectar-like balls, the incense was of the wood of the divine tree. The flowers were a collection of Parijata and other divine flowers. ||164|| All the treasures were placed in the place of fruits. The Lord of Jewels made the offering of jewels. ||16|| The gods, knowing the rise of the Kevala Jnana, trembled with joy. Hundreds of gods, led by Indra, came to offer their respects. ||166|| The gentle wind, skilled in shaking the trees of the heavenly gardens and carrying away the banks of the Ganga, was fragrant. ||17|| The drums of the gods sounded deeply in the sky, and a collection of flowers born from the Kalpa trees fell from the sky. ||16|| A canopy of jewels, made by the divine artisans, adorned him above, and a divine throne made of precious gems shone below. ||166|| A group of fly whisks swayed on either side, and a suitable assembly ground, the Gandhakuti, was built, whose glory is renowned. ||200|| Thus, the Yogi-raja, worshipped by the gods and having attained the wealth of Kevala Jnana, was adorned with many munis, like the moon surrounded by stars. ||201|| Carrying the state of the Arhant Parameshti, born from the destruction of karmas, and therefore worshipped by the gods, Bhagavan Bahubali wandered throughout the earth. ||202|| Thus, Bahubali, knowing all things, satisfied the whole world with his words like nectar, and, purified by the presence of his revered father, Bhagavan Rishabhadeva, reached Mount Kailasa. ||203||
