4 - THE EMPIRICAL RIGHT CONDUCT
Stanitakumāra class, transforming themselves into clouds, rain-down sprinkles of fragrant water; 9) as the Lord moves above the ground - ākāśagamana, the devas create rows of divine lotus-flowers - 15 rows of 15 flowers each, making a total of 225 lotus-flowers - under his feet; 10) the earth appears to be extremely exuberant as lush crop of rice, and other grains, cover it up; 11) the sky becomes absolutely clear, like the untainted omniscience of the Lord; 12) all directions, clear of dust, seem to be paying their homage to the Lord; 13) as per the instruction of the Indra, the subordinate devas proclaim the arrival of the Lord; 14) the divine dharmacakra – spinning, super-wheel with sun-like glow-must precede him at all places, to signal his presence.
Ācārya Nemicandra's Dravyasamgraha: णट्टचदुघाइकम्मो सणसुहणाणवीरियमईओ । सुहदेहत्थो अप्पा सुद्धो अरिहो विचिंतिज्जो ॥५०॥
चार घातिया कर्मों को नष्ट करने वाला, अनन्त दर्शन, सुख, ज्ञान और वीर्य का धारक, परम उत्तम देह में विराजमान, ऐसा जो शुद्ध आत्मा है वह अरहंत है; उसका ध्यान करना चाहिये।
Having destroyed the four inimical (ghātī) karmas, possessed of infinite faith, happiness, knowledge and power, and housed in the supremely-auspicious-body (paramaudārika śarīra), that pure soul of the World Teacher (the Arhat) should be meditated
on.
