The Adipurana, which is the abode of the gods, is constantly worshipped by them. It shines like the Sudharma Indra, surrounded by groups of Apsaras. ||79|| Having attained it, the gods attained joy, which is full of exaltation. The beautiful creation of heaven, the supreme deity. ||40|| Then, with great love, the king of the gods, along with the other gods, circumambulated the mountain king, the sun of the Jinas, and placed the Jina on its head with joy. ||1|| In the eastern and northern directions of that Meru mountain, there is a large Panduka stone, which is the abode of the Tirthankara's birth abhisheka. ||2|| That stone is extremely pure, beautiful, charming, pleasing, round, and shines like the Ashtami Prithvi Siddhishila. ||3|| That stone is one hundred yojanas long, fifty yojanas wide, eight yojanas high, and shaped like a half-moon, as the Jina Deva has said. ||84|| That Panduka stone always remains pure. Indra has washed it many times with the water of the Kshiroda ocean, therefore it is the epitome of purity. ||45|| Due to its purity, greatness, and sanctity, that Panduka stone shines like the mother of the Jinas. ||86|| On that stone, the offering of flowers is never impure. It is the manifestation of the fruit of liberation, like the liberated ones. ||7||
The Panduka stone, which is pure and fit for the kriya, is being held. ||78|| And that Meru mountain shines like the Sudharma Indra, because just as the Sudharma Indra is high, that is, excellent or generous, so is the Meru mountain also high. Just as the Sudharma Indra is served by many Vibudhas (gods), so is the Meru mountain also served by many gods or scholars. Just as the Sudharma Indra is the abode of the six seasons, and just as the Sudharma Indra is served by groups of Apsaras, so is the Meru mountain also adorned by Apsaras or lakes filled with water. ||7|| Thus, that Meru mountain, which shines with its height, is a mine of beauty, and is like the presiding deity of heaven, the gods were very happy to obtain it. ||80||
Thereafter, Indra, with great love, along with the gods, circumambulated that mountain king, Meru, and with joy placed the sun of the Jinas, the Sri Jina, on its head. ||1|| In the Panduka forest of that Meru mountain, in the eastern and northern directions, that is, in the Aishanya direction, there is a large heavy stone called Panduka, which holds the abhisheka of the Tirthankara, that is, on which the Tirthankaras are anointed. ||2|| That stone is extremely pure, beautiful, charming, pleasing, round, and shines like the Ashtami Prithvi Siddhishila. ||3|| That stone is one hundred yojanas long, fifty yojanas wide, eight yojanas high, and shaped like a half-moon, as the Jina Deva has said. ||84|| That Panduka stone always remains pure. Indra has washed it many times with the water of the Kshiroda ocean, therefore it is the epitome of purity. ||45|| Due to its purity, greatness, and sanctity, that Panduka stone shines like the mother of the Jinas. ||86|| That stone is as bright as the pearls that are dropped from above by the gods, and the flowers that the gods offer on it are hidden in it due to their similarity. ||7||
