Thirty-sixth Chapter
367
The moon is not a suitable comparison for her face, because if we compare it to the full moon, it is very old, its decay is near, its blemishes are clearly visible, and Rahu eclipses it. If we compare it to the incomplete moon, it is itself incomplete, unfinished. Meaning: Her face was youthful, imperishable, spotless, and complete, so neither the full nor the incomplete moon was a suitable comparison for her face. ||16||
If we compare it to a lotus, that is also not right, because before the lotus blooms, there is no Lakshmi, and it does not remain behind, it blooms moment by moment. But the Lakshmi on her face, taking on a unique beauty, manifested the nature of Syadvada. Meaning: The beauty of her face remained constant, yet moment by moment it took on a unique beauty, making it far superior to the beauty of the lotus, and thus manifesting the nature of Syadvada. Because just as Syadvada, through the Dravyatmaka Nay, remains one, yet through the Paryayarthika Nay, it manifests new and new forms, in the same way, the Lakshmi on her face, though generally one, moment by moment took on a unique beauty, manifesting many forms. ||162||
The beauty of the moon is destroyed by the sun, and the beauty of the lotus is destroyed by the moon, but the beauty of her face was becoming unique by the hand of Jayakumar's Lakshmi. ||163||
The moon shines at night and the lotus blooms during the day, the moon decays and the lotus withers, but her face was full, blooming, and shining day and night. ||164||
The one who looked at Sulochana's face, his beauty increased, and the one whose face Sulochana looked at, his beauty also increased for sure. What quality is there in the lotus that it can be compared to Sulochana's face? ||165||
She conquered the god of love, who conquers the three worlds, in her childhood, then who else in the world was a warrior who would not be conquered by her in her youth? ||166||
She conquered the god of love in her childhood, and conquered Jayakumar in her youth, then what is the extent of her victory, with thousands of women? ||167||
The excellent particles were there, and the remaining particles were as insignificant as grass. ||160||
