The Adipurana, with their heads bowed in reverence, their crowns swaying, seemed to be contemplating the birth of the Lord, the teacher of gods and demons, with wonder. ||12|| The sounds of bells, lions, drums, and conch shells echoed throughout the abodes of the Kalpavasis, Jyotishis, Vyantaras, and Bhavanavasis. ||13|| Hearing the deep sound of these instruments, like the waves of a vast ocean, the gods understood that the birth of the Tirthankara, the master of the three worlds, had taken place. ||14|| Then, at the command of Indra, the armies of the gods, like waves of the ocean, emerged from heaven in succession. ||15|| Elephants, horses, chariots, Gandharvas, dancers, foot soldiers, and bulls - these were the seven great armies of Indra. ||16|| Then, the Indra of the Saudharma heaven, accompanied by Indrani, mounted the mighty Airavata elephant, which was a hundred thousand yojanas wide, and set out, surrounded by many gods. ||17|| After him, the gods of the Samanika, Bayastrincha, Parishada, Amiraksha, and Lokapala classes surrounded him, moving in his wake. ||18|| At that time, the deep sound of the Dundubhi drums and the shouts of victory of the gods created a great commotion in the divine army. ||19|| Some of the gods in that army were laughing, some were dancing, some were leaping, some were making loud noises, some were running ahead, and some were singing. ||20|| All the gods, led by Indra, filled the entire sky, their chariots and various vehicles. ||21|| The sky, filled with the vehicles of the arriving gods, seemed to be creating another heaven, different from the heaven of sixty-four layers. ||22|| At that time, the radiance of Indra's body, like a celestial lake filled with pure water, reflected the beauty of the Apsaras, whose faces were blooming with smiles. ||23||
