It seemed as if heaven had indeed vacated its place and Mount Meru had attained the status of heaven, bearing all the splendor of Indra. || 99 ||
Thereafter, the Indra of Saudharma heaven, facing east, was seated on a throne made of Panduka stone and was eager to perform his abhisheka. || 100 ||
At that time, the divine drums were resounding, filling the entire sky, and the apsaras had begun to perform exquisite dances on all sides. || 101 ||
At the same time, the smoke of the excellent incense called Kalaaguru was rising in great quantities, and it seemed as if the stain that had been removed from the hearts of the virtuous by the merit generated from the celebration of the Lord's birth was being carried away. || 102 ||
At that time, the gods, desiring peace, prosperity, and radiance of the body, were offering sacred arghya from all sides, with akshata, water, and flowers, which seemed like particles of merit. || 103 ||
At that time, Indra created a large, heavy mandap there, in which all the beings of the three worlds could sit without obstructing each other. || 104 ||
In that mandap, many garlands made of the flowers of the Kalpavriksha were hanging, and the bumblebees were sitting on them and singing. The music of those bumblebees made those garlands seem as if they were singing the praises of the Lord. || 105 ||
Thereafter, the Indra of the first heaven, having performed all the rituals of the occasion, lifted the first kalasha to perform the Lord's first abhisheka. || 106 ||
And the second, Aishaneendra, who was extremely beautiful and knew the mantra for lifting the kalasha, also lifted a second kalasha, which was adorned with dense sandalwood and filled. || 107 ||
The remaining Indras, with joyful shouts of "Victory, Victory," received the role of attendants, serving according to the instructions of those two Indras. || 108 ||
Indrani and other chief goddesses, along with their respective apsaras and families, also became attendants, adorned with auspicious substances. || 109 ||
After that, many gods, in rows, with great joy, went to bring the pure water of the Kshirasagara in golden kalashas.
