मासे सजे हुए बहुतसे घंटे बनवायें तथा ऐसे ऐसे चौबीस घंटे बाहरके दरवाजेपर, राजभवन के महाद्वारपर और गोपुर दरवाजोंपर अनुक्रमसे रँगवा दिये ।। ८७-८८ ।। जब वे चक्रवर्ती उन दरवाजों से बाहर निकलते अथवा भीतर प्रवेश करते तब मुकुटके अग्रभागपर लगे हुए घंटाओंसे उन्हें चौबीस तीर्थ करोंका स्मरण हो आता था । तदनन्तर स्मरणकर उन देवकी प्रतिमाओंको वे नमस्कार करते थे इस प्रकार पुण्यरूप बुद्धिको धारण करनेवाले महाराज भरत निकलते और प्रवेश करते समय अरहन्तदेवकी पूजा करते थे ।।८९-९० ।। सूत्र अर्थात् रस्सियोंसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाले वे परमेष्ठियों के घंटा ऐसे अच्छे जान पड़ते थे मानो उत्तम उत्तम अर्थोंसे भरी हुई और सूत्र अर्थात् आगम वाक्योंसे सम्बन्ध रखने वाली ग्रन्थोंकी सुन्दर टीकाएं ही हों ||११|| महाराज भरत स्वयं तीनों लोकोंके चूड़ामणि थे उनके मस्तक पर लगे हुए वे लोकप्रिय घंटा ऐसे सुशोभित हो रहे थे मानो जिनेन्द्रदेवके चरणोंकी छाया ही हो ||१२|| निधियों के स्वामी भरतने अर्हन्तदेवकी वन्दनाके लिये जो घंटा रत्नोंके तोरणोंकी रचना में स्थापित किये थे उन्हें देखकर अन्य लोग भी उनका आदर करने लगे थे अर्थात् अपने अपने दरवाजेके तोरणोंकी रचना में घंटा लगवाने लगे थे । उसी समयसे नगरवासी लोगोंने भी अपने अपने घरकी तोरणमालाओं में अपने अपने वैभवके अनुसार जिनप्रतिमा आदि सामग्री से युक्त घंटा बाँधे थे ॥९३ - ९४ ।। उस समय प्रथमराजा भरतकी बनाई हुई इस सृष्टिको प्रजाके लोगोंने बहुत माना था, यही कारण है कि आज भी प्रत्येक घरपर बन्दन मालाएं दिखाई देती हैं ॥ ९५ ॥ | चूँकि भरतेश्वरने वे मालाएं अरहन्तदेवकी बन्दनाके लिये बनवाई थीं इसलिये ही वे वन्दनमाला नाम पाकर पृथिवी में प्रसिद्धिको प्राप्त हुई हैं ॥९६॥ यदि राजा धर्मात्मा होता है तो प्रजा भी धर्मात्मा होती है और राजा धर्मात्मा नहीं होता है। तो प्रजा भी धर्मात्मा नहीं होती है, यह नियम है कि जैसा राजा होता है वैसी ही प्रजा होती है ।। ९७ ।। उस समय कालके प्रभावसे प्रायः सभी लोग धर्मप्रिय थे सो ठीक ही है क्योंकि सदाचारी भरत के राजा रहते हुए सब लोग अपना हित करनेमें लगे हुए थे || १८ || उस समय अच्छा राजा और अच्छी प्रजा दोनों ही एक साथ मिल गये थे इसलिये राजाके अनुरोधसे प्रजा

The Great Purana
Many bells were made and placed at the outer gates, the main gate of the royal palace, and the Gopura gates in sequence. || 87-88 || When the Chakravarti would exit or enter through those gates, the bells attached to the front of his crown would remind him of the twenty-four Tirthankaras. Then, remembering them, he would offer salutations to those divine images with devotion. Thus, the virtuous-minded King Bharata would offer salutations to the Arhant Devas while exiting and entering. || 89-90 || The bells of the Supreme Ones, connected to the threads (sutras), appeared to be like excellent commentaries on the scriptures, filled with the best meanings and connected to the threads (sutras) of the Agamas. || 91 || The bells adorned the head of King Bharata, the jewel of the three worlds, and they shone brightly, as if they were the shadow of the feet of the Jina. || 92 || The Lord of Treasures, Bharata, had established those bells in the structure of the jeweled toranas for the purpose of offering salutations to the Arhant Devas. Seeing them, other people also began to respect them, that is, they began to install bells in the structures of their own gates. From that time, the people of the city also tied bells adorned with Jina images and other materials, according to their own wealth, in the torana garlands of their own homes. || 93-94 || At that time, the people greatly respected the creation made by the first king, Bharata. That is why even today, garlands of salutations are seen in every house. || 95 || Since King Bharata had made those garlands for the purpose of offering salutations to the Arhant Devas, they became known as "Vandanamala" and gained fame in the world. || 96 || If the king is righteous, then the people are also righteous. And if the king is not righteous, then the people are also not righteous. This is the rule: as the king is, so are the people. || 97 || At that time, due to the influence of time, almost all people were righteous. This is because, while the virtuous Bharata was king, everyone was engaged in their own welfare. || 98 || At that time, a good king and good people were both present together. Therefore, at the request of the king, the people...
