[ Antakrid Dasha ]
She, shedding tears like a garland of pearls, a stream of water, a Sindhuvar tree's blossoms, and a broken garland of pearls, spoke thus: "These hairs will be for us, like the final darshan, or repeated darshan, of Gajasukumal Kumar, in many tithis, festivals, celebrations, and yajnas like Nagpujada." Thinking thus, she placed them under her pillow.
After this, Gajasukumal Kumar's parents had another throne placed in the north direction, and had Gajasukumal Kumar bathed with golden and silver kalashas. Then, they wiped his body with fragrant, gandhakaashyita (red, fragrant) cloth. They anointed his body with Gosirsha Chandan. After that, they dressed him in a patashaatak (silk cloth). He was so light that he could be blown away by the air of his nose, pleasing to the eyes, beautiful in complexion, and soft to the touch. The cloth was softer than the saliva of a horse, white, with gold threads on its edges. It was very valuable and had the mark of a swan. Then, they adorned him with a haar (eighteen-stringed) and an ardhahaar. What more can be said, he was adorned and decorated like a Kalpa tree with granthim (knotted), veshtit (woven), purim (filled), and sanghatim (interwoven) garlands.
After this, his father called the family men and said, "O Devanupriyo! Please prepare a shivika (palanquin) for me, like the vimanas described in the Rajprasniya sutra, which are adorned with hundreds of pillars, playing puppets, and groups of bells made of precious gems, and can be lifted by a thousand men." After this, Gajasukumal Kumar, adorned and decorated with four types of ornaments: keshalankar, vastralankar, malalankar, and abharanalanakar, rose from the throne. He circumambulated and ascended the shivika, and sat on the best throne facing east.
After that, Gajasukumal Kumar's mother, having bathed and adorned her body, took a patashaatak with the mark of a swan, circumambulated, ascended the shivika, and sat on the best bhadrasan to the right of Gajasukumal. Then, Gajasukumal's foster mother, having bathed and adorned her body, took a rajoharan and a vessel, circumambulated, ascended the shivika, and sat on the best bhadrasan to the left of Gajasukumal. After this, behind Gajasukumal, stood a young woman with a beautiful form and dress, beautiful gait, beautiful body, and adorned with the beauty and charm of youth, holding a white korantak flower garland, like snow, silver, kumud, mogra flowers, and the moon, and playfully wearing it. Then, on the right and left of Gajasukumal, stood two beautiful young women, like treasure houses of beauty, with beautiful dress, holding chamaras on both sides. The chamaras were made of gems, gold, precious stones, and pure, malleable (red gold), with intricate handles, and were white like conch shells, ankaratna, mogra flowers, the moon, water drops, and the foam of churned nectar. After this, Gajasukumal...
In the northeast direction (Ishaan kona), stood a beautiful woman with beautiful dress and adornment, holding a kalash filled with white, silver-colored, holy water, shaped like the mouth of a mad elephant. In the southeast direction (Agneya kona), stood a beautiful woman with beautiful dress, like a house of beauty, holding a fan with an intricate golden handle.
Then, Gajasukumal's father called the family men and said, "O Devanupriyo!
