The city of Sakoshala was very famous and it adorned the navel (center) of the future vast country. It was adorned with a royal palace, a moat, a fort and a ditch. It seemed as if it was a blueprint for the cities that would be built in the future. On a pious day, at an auspicious time, in a favorable constellation and at a favorable time, the gods celebrated the auspicious occasion with joy. King Nabhiraj and Marudevi, who had inherited a lineage of many fortunes, began to reside in the extremely prosperous city of Ayodhya with great joy at the time of the auspicious occasion. Knowing that these two would give birth to the omniscient Rishabhdev, Indra worshipped them greatly with an abhisheka (ceremony). Knowing that Lord Rishabhdev would descend from heaven in six months, the gods showered precious stones from the sky out of respect. The rain of precious stones, which was arranged by Kubera, who was appointed by Indra, was so beautiful as if the wealth of Rishabhdev had arrived before his arrival due to eagerness. That rain of precious stones was shining with a group of rays of Hari-mani, Indra-neel mani and Padmarag etc. gems, as if it was acquiring simplicity (becoming straight in a line) and the beauty of the rainbow was coming. That stream of precious stones, which was as thick as the trunk of the elephant Airavata, round and long, was shining as if it was the lineage of the large shoots of the pious tree. Or, that stream of precious stones, which was extremely dense and stopped the sky and the earth, was shining as if it was the lineage of the shoots released by the Kalpa trees. Or, that golden rain falling from the courtyard of the sky was shining as if it was coming from heaven.
