## Third Chapter: The Birth and Coronation of Vijaydev
[415] The Salamanjiya, with a Lomahththa, anointed Vijaydev. After anointing him, he adorned him with a five-fingered, fragrant, sandalwood paste. After adorning him, he wiped him with a cloth and dressed him. After dressing him, he performed the flower offering and adorned him with ornaments. After adorning him, he performed the Asattasatta Viulavattayagghariyamallavamakalaavam. After performing that, he performed the Kayaggahagiya, followed by the Pushpayujokyarakaliya. After performing that, he offered incense. After offering incense, he approached the assembly of the great ones with his face covered. Upon approaching the assembly of the great ones, he anointed him with a Lomahththa. After anointing him, he offered him food and drink. After offering him food and drink, he adorned him with a five-fingered, fragrant, sandalwood paste, forming a circle. After adorning him, he wiped him with a cloth and dressed him. He performed the Kayaggahagiya, followed by the previous offerings. After performing those, he approached the assembly of the great ones, standing on his right foot. [142]
(2) Afterwards, four thousand Samanika Devas, along with many other Vanavyantara Devas and Devis, followed Vijaydev. Some carried lotus flowers in their hands, while others carried hundred-petaled or thousand-petaled lotus flowers. Many Abhiyogi Devas and Devis followed Vijaydev, some carrying kalashas in their hands, while others carried incense holders. Then, Vijaydev, accompanied by four thousand Samanika Devas, along with many other Vanavyantara Devas and Devis, surrounded by all kinds of Riddhis and Yuthis, and amidst the sound of musical instruments, reached the Siddhayatana. He circumambulated the Siddhayatana and entered through the eastern gate. He reached the Devachandaka and bowed to the Jina images. He then took a Lomahththa and cleansed the Jina images. He bathed them with fragrant water and wiped their limbs with a divine, fragrant, gandhakaṣāyika (towel). He applied fragrant, sandalwood paste to their bodies. He adorned the Jina images with Akshat, white and divine Devadūṣya-yugala, and worshipped them with the best, primary fragrances and garlands. After worshipping them, he offered flowers, fragrances, garlands, and colored powders (kesaradi) and ornaments. He then adorned them with large, round, hanging garlands, extending from top to bottom. Afterwards, he inscribed auspicious symbols in front of the Jina images with clean, white, silver, and shining rice. These auspicious symbols included the swastika, the śrīvatsa, and the mirror. After inscribing these auspicious symbols, he performed the Pushpopachara (flower offering) with five-year-old flowers, taken from the Kachagraha and released from the Karatala. He offered incense with a pure stick, adorned with Chandrakant, Vajra, and Vaidurya gems, and decorated with gold, gems, and various forms of precious stones. The incense was made with the best fragrances of black agarwood, superior kunduruka, and loban. He offered incense with a Vaidurya incense holder, carefully moving back seven or eight steps. He then praised the Jinas with one hundred and eight pure Granthas (word references), containing Mahachandas, meaningful, and non-repetitive stotras. After praising them, he raised his left knee, placed his right knee on the ground, and bowed his head to the ground three times. He then raised his head slightly, contracted his arms, which were supported by his Kataka and Trutita (armlet), joined his hands, placed his palms on his forehead, and said, "Namaskara to the Arihant Bhagavantas, and to all those who have attained the Siddhigatinamasthana."
