402] [Jivajivaabhigamsutra] For the Devānupriya, it is auspicious in the past, and it is auspicious in the future; this is to be done for the Devānupriya in the past, and it is to be done in the future; this is beneficial for the Devānupriya, both in the past and in the future, and will always be with him. Saying this, they loudly use the word "Jay-Jaykar". 141. [2] Hearing this from the Devānupriya, Vijayadeva was delighted and pleased, his heart blossomed. He rose from the Devashyaniya and donned the Devadushya pair. Wearing them, he descended from the Devashyaniya and went out through the eastern gate of the Uppapatasabha. He went towards the Hrad (lake) and circumambulated it. Entering through the eastern torana, he descended from the Trisopanapratirupa and entered the water. He performed Jalavagahan (immersion in water) and Jalakrida (water sports). Thus, becoming extremely pure and holy, he emerged from the Hrad and went towards the Abhishekasabha. Circumambulating the Abhishekasabha, he entered through the eastern gate and went towards the throne. He sat on the throne facing the east. [141] (3) Then, the Devānupriya, along with the Devānupriya's Samaniyapariso, said to Vijayadeva, "O Devānupriya! We will perform a great, glorious, and magnificent Abhisheka for you." Hearing this, the Devānupriya, along with the Samaniyapariso, were delighted and pleased. They clasped their hands together, bowed their heads, and said, "O Devānupriya! We accept your command and obey your words." Having said this, they went to the eastern Visimag, and from there, they performed Samohan (a ritual of showering blessings) with Veubdhiyasamugdha (a special type of water). They then released a Dand (a unit of measurement) of Sankhejjai (a type of flower) for a distance of many Yojanas (a unit of measurement). They also showered the Devānupriya with a multitude of precious stones and jewels. They then performed Samohan with Veubdhiyasamugdha again. They then offered 8,000 golden Kalasas (pots) and 8,000 silver Kalasas.
