## The Birth Festival of the Lord
**The Adipurana**
**Malini**
The Lord, worthy of worship by the lords of the worlds, approachable, a mine of all virtues, a form of purity, remained in the sacred home of the noble king Nabhiraj, enjoying divine pleasures with the celestial princes, for a long time. ||21||
**Sardulavikridita**
The glorious Lord, whose feet are worshipped by gods and demons, was growing up like a young moon, gradually increasing in brilliance, with his pure form, adorned with the playfulness of a child, yet with the wisdom of an elder, engaging in games, food, entertainment, and elegant attire, delighting the minds of all beings with his words like rays of light. ||212||
He wore a heavy garland, broad and fitting, resting on his chest, like a creeper of swaying lotuses, and adorned himself with a garment of moonlight, shining with a brilliance like the moon, playing with the celestial princes, like stars, in great splendor. ||213||
Thus ends the fourteenth chapter, named **The Birth Festival of the Lord**, in the **Trishattilakshana Sri Mahapurana Sangraha**, composed by the venerable Jinaseanacharya. ||14||
