In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, his radiance, like the combined brilliance of the sun and moon, shone brightly. I believe that lotuses and lilies always bloomed in his presence. || 186 || His qualities, like the laughter of the jasmine, were pure, like the rays of the moon. They blossomed the lotus-like minds of the noble ones. || 187 || Lakshmi was born with him, so she was his sister. This is the truth, but ignorant people have falsely imagined that Lakshmi is the sister of the moon. || 188 || Just as the world rejoices, becomes beautiful, and flourishes when the moon rises, so too, the world rejoices, becomes beautiful, and flourishes when the Lord Chandra Prabha, who removes all suffering, is born. || 189 || I believe that his pure fame and fortune are due to his qualities. If the saying "action follows cause" is true, then it must be accepted that his fortune and fame were pure because of his pure qualities. || 190 || He, who is endowed with great power, who is adorned with auspicious acts like bathing, and who is decorated with ornaments, sometimes played the melodious vina, sometimes sang with mridanga and other instruments, sometimes looked at the ornaments and clothes brought by Kubera, sometimes examined the arguments presented by debaters, and sometimes, out of curiosity, granted darshan to the noble beings who came to see him. Thus, he spent his time. || 191 || When he was still a child, his qualities like dharma increased, and his vices like papa were destroyed. What to say when he attained restraint? || 194 || Thus, after two hundred and fifty thousand years had passed, he received his coronation, and he appeared very joyful and beautiful. || 195 || What is the use of the sun's brilliance, which cannot protect itself from the Rahu, whose disc is the size of his palm? The brilliance belongs to this Lord Chandra Prabha, who protects the three worlds. || 196 || If even Indra and other gods accept servitude before his birth, then how can this Lord Chandra Prabha, who is surrounded by other glories like wealth, be compared to anyone else? || 197 ||
