Trishatittama Parva

She departed for the royal assembly, adorned with appropriate garments and ornaments, like a moving Kalpa-creeper. The group of rays of the young sun was terrified by the white umbrella she carried, and her great prosperity was manifested by the waving chowries. She was accompanied by a few people. Just as the line of the moon enters the night, so she entered the royal assembly. The king gave her his own seat of honor, as she bowed in formal respect. She recounted to the king the dream she had seen, step by step, and inquired about its meaning from the king, who possessed the eyes of knowledge. At that time, Indra, along with the gods of the four quarters, descended from heaven and began to celebrate the auspicious occasion of the incarnation. Meanwhile, Indra was growing in the queen's womb with great prosperity, and the mother of the Lord of the Three Worlds was receiving the worship of the gods, including rain of jewels, for fifteen months. When the ninth month arrived, on the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight of Jyeshtha, in the Yama Yoga, at dawn, she gave birth to a son. He was so beautiful, as if he were the embodiment of the joy of the entire world. He also possessed three bright eyes, representing pure mind, faith, and knowledge. The gods of the four quarters, who had been informed of the birth of the Jina by the sound of conch shells, drums, lion roars, and bells, came together to celebrate the birth of the Jina. At that time, Mahadevi Indraani, who illuminated the directions, entered the womb-chamber and, with the help of Maya-sleep, subdued the virtuous Jina-mother, Aira, along with her son. She circumambulated the venerable Jina-mother and paid her respects. She placed a Maya-created child in front of her and, taking up the supreme Kumar, the Jina-child, who is worshipped by all the gods, she carried him in her two tender arms and handed him over to Indra. Indra placed him on the back of the elephant Airavata. Just as Lord Adinatha was placed on the summit of Mount Sumeru and anointed with the water of the ocean of milk, so also was he placed on the summit of Mount Sumeru and anointed with the water of the ocean of milk.
