fault of mine.
3. O friend of the Three Worlds! I will never again do such an evil deed-which is the essential cause of a succession of lives in this samsāra.
Having thus asked pardon with polite manners, from the Great Teacher of the World, Sakréndra, keeping himself in the North-East direction and striking the surface of the ground three times with his left foot, told Camaréndra:-O Indra of asuras! You did well that you concealed yourself in the lotus-like feet of the Lord, who had taken a vow to afford protection to all the beings of the entire world. By doing so, you have intensely delighted my heart. The continuity of our previous animosity has now been for removed, and an unperishable feeling of affection has been created for life. Roam about, as you like, for the activities of your amusement. By the grace of the Jinéśvara, you have now no fear from me." Having thus consoled Camarendra with sweet words, Dévéndra (the Indra of gods) went away to his Own abode.
