[108]
(The Upasaka Dasanga Sutra being recited) The man, the head of the family, having been informed, left his house. Having left, he went out through the middle of the city of Champa. Having gone out, he came to the Punnabhadda Cetiya, just as the conch-shell devotee comes to the Samana Bhagavan Mahavira. Having come, he performed the three-fold circumambulation, bowing and prostrating. Having bowed and prostrated, he performed the five-fold Paryupasana.
The Shraman Upasaka Kamadeva, upon hearing that Bhagavan Mahavira had arrived, thought, "It is auspicious for me to bow and prostrate to the Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira and then return to complete the fast." Thinking thus, he put on pure and assembly-worthy auspicious garments, (adorned his body with a few precious ornaments, and surrounded by a group of men with umbrellas adorned with garlands of fragrant flowers) he left his house. He went out and passed through the middle of the city of Champa, where the Punnabhadda Cetiya was (where the Shraman Bhagavan Mahavira was), like a conch-shell devotee. He came and (performed three circumambulations, bowed and prostrated. Having bowed and prostrated, he performed the three-fold bodily, verbal, and mental) Paryupasana.
115. Then the Samana Bhagavan Mahavira gave a Dharma-katha to the Shraman Upasaka Kamadeva and the assembly. The praise of Kamadeva by the Bhagavan.
116. Kamadeva! The Samana Bhagavan Mahavira spoke to the Shraman Upasaka Kamadeva in this way: "Kamadeva! In the time of the past, in the time of the Ratnavara, you were a god in the Anta-paubbhua. Then that god manifested a great divine Pisaya-rupa. Having manifested, he took a great blue lotus, (a garland of fragrant flowers, a sword with a sharp edge) and holding it, he said to you, "O Kamadeva! As long as you live, you will be victorious. You, having been told this by that god, have been living accordingly.
These three Uvasaggas, adorned with praise, should be recited in the same way, until the god is satisfied. "Kamadeva! Is this true?" "Yes, it is true."
