25. Raja Artha Prakashe King Siddarth tells the meaning of the divine dreams and makes a forecast. 26. Putra Tirthankar "You will give birth to a great son who will be the "Tirthankar". All the living
creatures of the whole universe will bow down to him and all our hopes, desires, and purposes will be
fulfilled." 27. Avadhignan With the knowledge of Avadhignan, the soul of Mahivira gets planted into the womb of
mother Trishala and becomes very happy and cheerful. 28. Subhlagne Shree Mahavirswami takes birth when all the planets are perfectly aligned (all good things
happen) and after His birth, all the living creatures of the whole universe (even in hell) feel happiness
and relief from their sufferings and miseries with the divine light. 29. Sambado Kalash Fifty-six divine maiden goddesses (devis) come from different directions to bow
down to Jineshwar and Mother Trishala and rejoice extremely 30. Astaa Sanvarta The tasks of these fifty-six devis are: - Eight clean the ways, Eight shower the
scented water, Eight offer water pots, Eight offer mirrors, Eight offer blowers, Eight blow their Fans, Four tie up the divine thread of protection and Four stand with the enlightened lamp. Now, the fifty-six devis build up a small house of banana leaves and bring Trishala and Vardhaman (Mahavir) to give him
a shower. 31. Kusumapuji Then they worship Mahavira with sweet flowers and adorn Him with oranaments and tie
up the divine thread of protection and lay Him down in the cradle. 32. Nami Kahe Maaye Then, they bow to Mother Trishala and her son and say, "Your son may live long
and be victorious as long as Meru Mountain, the sun and the moon exist in the universe." 33. Swami Guna Gavati At this time, the throne of Saudharmendra vibrates. 34. Jina Janmyaji He becomes to know, with the knowledge of Avadhignan, that Mahavira has taken
birth and he becomes happy and cheerful. 35. Sugosh Ade Ganta Nade Then, he orders the god, Haringamaishi, to toll the bell (“Sugosha") and to
tell all the Gods and goddesses to go to Meru Mountain to celebrate the birthday function of Jineshwar.
Billions of Gods get together and go to Meru Mountain. 36. Aem Sabhliji While Trishla is still sleeping, Saudharmendra takes Jineshwar in his two hands and goes
to Meru Mountain with the dancing gods and goddesses. 37. Meru Uparaji Saudharmendra celebrates the birthday function in Panduk Forest with a delighted and
cheerful face. Other sixty-three Indras also join the function. 38. Malya Chausath Then, Achutendra orders the dev and devis to bring water from the Ganges River
and milk from the Milky Ocean. They do so and bring flowers, dishes, throne blowers, incenses and saucers. They put all pots before Jineshwar and worship him and anoint him devotedly.
Atam Bhakti In this way, the gods of astrology (Vyantragods and the gods of Bhuvanpati and Vaimnik) celebrate the function of Jineshwar's birth in extreme joyous mood, dancing and playing varieties of music, telling Mother Trishala, "This is your great and divine son, however, he is our greatest master and we are also his disciples Whoever celebrates the function of the Jineshwar Bhagwan's birth, in this way, will achieve happiness, bliss, and joy forever.
