The king of the gods, Indra, commanded Kubera to rain down jewels, following the wishes of the Rakshasa and Naga kings. This continued until it seemed as if Dharma had taken on a human form. This occurred when there were three months less in the year (i.e., nine months).
The destroyer of the darkness of the ignorant, the illuminator of the world, the sprout of the vine of fame, the mark of the deer, the master within the belly of the ignorant, grew without hindrance. The rays of his body spread like the rays of the sun on a new cloud, as if a moon in the form of the revered Jina had risen for the sake of the lotus flowers devoid of the body of the Marudevi. ||8||
Certainly, on the ninth day of the dark fortnight of the month of Chaitra, on a Sunday, in the Uttaraṣāḍha constellation, in the multi-faceted Brahma Yoga, with the three knowledges, signs (conch, club, etc.) and expressions (tilak, mole, etc.), the birth of the Jina took place. Indra's pride was shaken, and the seat trembled. The inhabitants of the kalpa, in their natural way, praised the son born to Marudevi. They recognized him by his color, like that of heated gold. The sound of bells began to ring. In the abodes of the astrologers, the giants seemed to be destroyed. He appeared like the young sun in the east, as if flames were emerging from the arani (a special type of wood used to create fire by friction), as if the earth had revealed its treasure, as if the category of Siddhas had come into being, and there was a disturbance in the world. Indra, through his knowledge, realized that a sinless god had been born in the mortal world. It seemed as if the nature of the world had been revealed, as if the story composed by the great poet had revealed its meaning, as if it were a drop of nectar. Dharma-ananda increased in his heart. Indra moved, the sun moved, and the moon moved. Then, the intoxicated elephant named Airavata, which was the size of a bankriya body, fell into hell, as if the virtues had been gathered together.
