## The Thirty-Eighth Chapter
The **Avatara Kriya** (Incarnation Process) then takes place. After the worship of the Arhat, the Indra descends from heaven. || 214 ||
He, desiring liberation, having attained human birth, focuses his mind on the worship of the Siddhas. || 215 ||
He, who has indicated his great merit through sixteen auspicious dreams, then attains the **Swargavtara Kriya** (Heavenly Descent Process). || 216 ||
This is the **Indravtara** (Indra's Descent). ||
Then, he descends into the womb, which is like a treasury of jewels, purified by the great Goddess Mahadevi and the Sri Devis. || 217 ||
Six months before his birth, Kubera rains down jewels, as if the wealth of heaven is descending upon the earth with the Lord. || 218 ||
The air, fragrant and sweet like nectar, blows gently, filling all directions, as if it were the breath of the earth-goddess, created by the Vayu Kumaras. || 219 ||
The sound of the drums, rising in the sky, creates a fear of thunder in the peacocks. || 220 ||
The **Guhyaka** (Secret) Devas, who are immortal, shower down garlands of Kalpavriksha flowers, which are never wilted and attract bees with their fragrance. || 221 ||
The Goddesses Sri, Hri, Buddhi, Dhriti, and Kirti, along with Lakshmi, come together to serve the mother of the universe, Mahadevi. || 222 ||
In a certain abode of virtue, a holy temple of the royal sages, he, the **Hiranyagarbha** (Golden Womb), takes birth, born of the **Hiranyotkrista** (Golden Excellence) lineage. || 223 ||
He, who bears the three knowledges, even while in the womb, takes on this **Kriya** (Process), indicated by the name **Hiranyotkrista**, meaning "born of the golden excellence." || 224 ||
This is the **Hiranyajamta** (Golden Birth). ||
It is amazing that a valiant and wise man abandons even the heavenly riches without any suffering. || 213 ||
This is the thirty-seventh **Indratyaga Kriya** (Indra's Renunciation Process). || 259 ||
After that, the **Avatara Kriya** (Incarnation Process) takes place for the Indra who, at the end of his lifespan, wishes to worship the Arhat and descend from heaven. || 214 ||
"I want to attain liberation very quickly after taking birth as a human," thinking this, he focuses his mind on worshipping the Siddhas. || 215 ||
He, who has indicated his great merit through sixteen auspicious dreams, then attains the **Swargavtara Kriya** (Heavenly Descent Process). || 216 ||
This is the thirty-eighth **Indravtara Kriya** (Indra's Descent). ||
Then, he descends into the womb, which is like a treasury of jewels, purified by the great Goddess Mahadevi and the Sri Devis. || 217 ||
Six months before his birth, Kubera rains down jewels, as if the wealth of heaven is descending upon the earth with the Lord. || 218 ||
The air, fragrant and sweet like nectar, blows gently, filling all directions, as if it were the breath of the earth-goddess, created by the Vayu Kumaras
