The sun, with its unbearable rays spreading in all directions, nourishes the autumnal lakes and revolves, establishing the supreme Jina, the well-wisher of the three worlds, on the throne atop that rock. Eighty yojanas above, the moon continuously revolves. Four yojanas above that, the Ashvini constellation is seen. The remaining twenty-seven constellations are also visible. Then, at the same distance, Mercury appears. There, Venus and the lord of the golden hue, with his unbearable brilliance, are adorned, as if I, Brihaspati, were speaking. There, I count Mars and Saturn. Thus, after traveling one hundred and ten yojanas, the Mandarachala, with its body covered by trees with hands holding vines, is reached. ||12|| Then, they cross the pure sky. Then, they travel one thousand and eighty-nine yojanas. Then, Indra travels one hundred yojanas. At the same distance (one hundred yojanas) in length, fifty yojanas in width, and eight yojanas in height, the pure Jina, like snow, is reverently worshipped. As if he were showing his Lakshmi with joy, as if he were adorned with trees laden with fruits, and as if the pale rock, shaped like a crescent moon, were shining there, upon reaching that place, the Devendra, with shouts of "Victory, victory, victory," prostrates himself. As if they were waving chamaras made of yak hair, as if the cuckoo were singing in a beautiful voice, as if they were establishing rocks made of crystal gems.
