The fragrance that emanates and spreads all around when the Jain ritual substances such as kunkuma (saffron), ushira (vetiver), champaka, marava, damana, jati (jasmine), juhī (jasmine), mallika (jasmine), navamallika, vasantilata, kevada, and camphor are opened, split, crushed, broken into small pieces, scattered, thrown upwards, consumed, or transferred from one vessel to another, is so extensive, pleasant, and satisfying to the nose and mind, O Lord! Is that the fragrance of those grasses and gems? Gautama, this is not true. Even more desirable, charming, beloved, pleasant, and delightful is the fragrance of those grasses and gems.
The touch of those grasses and gems is said to be like the soft touch of ajina (a type of cloth), wool, bura (a plant), makshika (honey), hamsa-garbhalika (a type of flower), sirisa flower cluster, the mass of petals of a newly bloomed lotus, is it so? No, this is not correct. The touch of those grasses and gems is even more delightful, charming, beloved, pleasant, and delightful than that.
The sound that emanates and spreads all around when those grasses and gems are gently moved by the northern, southern, eastern, and western winds, causing them to tremble, shake, sway, and collide, is it like the sound of the sibya (a musical instrument), sandamani (a musical instrument), the chariot, the well-decorated, bejeweled, garlanded, and festooned royal umbrella with its melodious jingling, the sound of the golden palace with its intricate carvings and decorations, or the sound of the skillfully crafted and ornamented chariot wheel? No, this is not correct. The sound that emanates from the gentle movement of those grasses and gems by the winds is even more magnificent, pleasant, and delightful to the ears.
