The Clear Festival
Thinking thus in his mind, King Vajradanta rose to perform an excellent worship of Yashodhara Maharaja, which would increase his merit. || 108 || Then, along with his army, he approached the World Teacher and worshipped him, his lotus-like face beaming with joy. || 109 || As the radiant-minded Vajradanta prostrated at the feet of Yashodhara, he attained knowledge of the past, present, and future. It is right, for what will not be the fruit of devotion with pure results? Or what fruits will it not bear? || 110 || By that knowledge of the past, present, and future, the king realized that in a previous life he was Indra of the Acyuta heaven, and this was his daughter, Srimat Lalitangadevi, known as Svayamprabha. || 111 || Having performed prostrations and other rites, the wise Vajradanta returned from there and entrusted his daughter Srimat to the Pandita nurse, and then quickly set out to conquer the directions. || 112 || The Chakravarti, radiant like Indra, worshipped the Chakra-ratna and then, with his six-fold army of elephants, horses, chariots, infantry, gods, and Vidyadharas, set out to conquer the directions. || 113 ||
Then, one day, the extremely clever Pandita nurse, in private, began to speak to Srimat with words full of cunning, in order to make her understand. || 114 || At that time, she was sitting on a moonstone slab in the middle of the Asoka grove, and with her soft hand, she was lovingly touching the limbs of Srimat, who was sitting in front of her. As she spoke, the flow of water-like rays from her lotus-like mouth, which came from her teeth, seemed as if she were extinguishing the burning of Srimat's heart. || 115-116 || She said, "Daughter, I am Pandita, the planner of all actions, extremely clever. Therefore, my name Pandita is true, meaningful. Besides, I am like your mother and a dear friend who will always be with you like your life." || 117 || "Therefore, O blessed daughter, tell me the reason for your silence here. For it is well known that illness is not hidden from one's mother." || 118 || "I have carefully considered this behavior of yours in my mind, but I have not understood anything. Therefore, O daughter, tell me clearly." || 119 || "O friend, is this the madness of love, or the pain of some planet? For often, at the beginning of youth, the planet of love stirs." || 120 ||
