In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, this Achuta, who lived for twenty-two oceans (a measure of time), was the Indra of the Pushpottara Vimana. He was three handspans tall and possessed the Leshya, etc., as described before. ||14|| He enjoyed the best of pleasures with beautiful celestial beings, who possessed divine qualities, day after day. ||15|| The Indras of the heavens beyond the sixteenth heaven are devoid of attachment, while the other gods experience only a little pleasure. Therefore, he spent his lifespan content with the greatest pleasures of the world. ||16|| After experiencing the pleasures there, he was ready to come here. At that time, in this Jambudvipa, in the Bharat Kshetra, the king of Singhapura, Vishnu by name, a renowned member of the Ikshvaku dynasty, was ruling. ||17|| His beloved was named Nandā. Nandā had received various forms of worship, including rain-making, for six months before the conception. ||18|| On the sixth day of the dark fortnight of Jyeshtha, during the Shravana constellation, at dawn, she saw sixteen dreams and an elephant entering her mouth. ||19|| Understanding the meaning of these dreams from her husband, she was overjoyed. At that very moment, Indra arrived and performed the ceremony of Garbha-Kalyanak (ceremony for a pregnant woman). ||20|| Nandā, who was destined to bear a noble child, spent nine months as described before and, on the eleventh day of the dark fortnight of Phalguna, during the Vishnu Yoga, gave birth to Achuta, the holder of three knowledges, the great fortunate one, for the happiness of the world, just as a cloud brings forth a great rain. ||21-22|| Just as all the water bodies become clear and joyful with the arrival of the autumn season, so too, with his birth, the minds of all beings became joyful and filled with happiness. ||23|| With the birth of the Lord, the beggars were happy to receive wealth, the wealthy were happy to satisfy the poor, and both were happy to enjoy their desired pleasures. ||24|| At that time, all the seasons, together, manifested with their own beautiful qualities, bringing happiness to all beings. ||25|| It was a wonder that at the time of the Lord's birth, the sick became healthy, the sorrowful became free from sorrow, and the sinful became righteous. ||26|| If ordinary people were experiencing such great joy at that time, then how can one measure the joy of his parents? ||27||
