The Adipurana, attracted by the celestial sphere, has taken a reverse course, as if embracing a crooked path. ||164|| The Bhagana, with its enhanced rays, submerged in water, served Pushana out of delusion, fearing the torrential rays. ||165|| The celestial wheel, a perishable light, revolving around the milky ocean, never stops for even a moment, fearing the transgression of time. ||166|| The luminous sheet, thus agitated by the bath water, for a moment, revolved obliquely, like a potter's wheel. ||167|| From the summit of the mountain, the sustainer of the world, the bath water, scattered sparsely, purified the human world. ||168|| The entire earth was irrigated, the Kula mountains purified, the lands made free from calamities, and all beings were united in welfare. ||169|| By this purification of the world's artery, what welfare remained for the beings that was not bestowed by the bath water? ||170|| Then, in that great flood, with its mind filled with meditation, and its face turned towards the directions, calm and having extinguished the heat of all the worlds, the remaining water... ||171|| ...in the caves of the great Meru, where the water had receded, Meru, with its water and forest, took some rest. ||172|| When fragrant incense was being burned in the fires of fragrant fuel, and jewel-like lamps were lit for the purpose of devotion alone... ||173|| ...when the gods were reciting auspicious hymns in loud voices, and the Kinnari goddesses, with their sweet voices, were singing melodious songs... ||174|| ...when the sounds of auspicious songs related to the welfare of the Jina were filling the ears of all the gods, making a festival for their hearing... ||175||
