The thirteenth festival, which holds the lion throne for the consecration of the Jinas, is like another Mount Meru placed atop Mount Meru. [48] It also holds two beautiful divine thrones, perfectly placed, for the consecration of the Jinas, one for the king of the gods of the Saudharma heaven and the other for the king of the gods of the Aishana heaven. [89] The gods constantly offer beautiful gifts and perform rituals, making it eternally beautiful with auspicious music, dance, and instruments. [90] It holds eight auspicious objects: an umbrella, a whisk, a fly whisk, a fan, a mirror, a water pot, a flag, and a palm leaf fan. [91] This pure Panduka stone is very dear to the monks, like the tradition of good conduct, and is extremely radiant, pleasing, fragrant, and pure, like the body of the Jina. [92] Although it is already white and pure, the king of the gods has washed it hundreds of times with the pure water of the ocean of milk. It is like a mine of merit, generating merit. [93] The surrounding areas are illuminated by the light of jewels, creating a rainbow of splendor. [94] The gods, desiring to see the auspiciousness of the Jina's birth, surround the Panduka stone, sitting in their respective places in all directions. [95] The guardians of the directions, along with their respective groups, sit in their designated places, eager to witness the festival of the Jina. [96] The army of gods, having occupied the sky-like courtyard, spread out over the top of Mount Meru, settling in the Panduka forest. [97] The Panduka forest, surrounded by gods and kings, seems to be laughing at heaven, adorned with clusters of flowers. [98]
