The Adipurana, adorned with the shining ornaments of his arms, was a sight to behold. The brilliance of the jewels on the hoods of the serpent kings was eclipsed by his radiance. (123) With his hips adorned with the Kanchi garland, he accepted the homage of the Jambudvipa, the land of the righteous. (124) His nails, shining with the brilliance of the sun, bestowed blessings upon all who bowed before him, even unto the end of the universe. (125) His body, radiating with the light of the sun, eclipsed the brilliance of all the gods, even the great Indra. (126) With the beauty of his every limb, he seemed to cast away the attachments of the world, which had been nurtured for so long. (127) He was adorned with a white umbrella, its brilliance like that of the moon, which seemed to serve him, dispelling his weariness. (128) He was fanned by the celestial beings, their chauris like a cloud of white, as if the ocean of milk itself were serving him, in celebration of his birth. (129) Thus, the great Vrishabhadeva, surrounded by the gods, emerged from Ayodhya. The people of the city hailed him with joy. (130) Go forth, O Jagannatha, to achieve your goal. May your path be auspicious. O God, may you complete your task and return to us soon. (131) O Lord, there is no one like you who can protect the helpless. Therefore, please turn your mind to our protection. (132) O Lord, all your actions are for the benefit of mankind. Who else will you bless, if you abandon us without reason? (133) Thus, the people of the city, with hearts filled with joy and devotion, bowed their heads in reverence, praising the Lord with words of admiration and heartfelt prayer. (134) At that time, some of the people of the city were saying to each other, "The gods are taking the Lord away. We do not know the reason. Is it for play, or for some other purpose?" (135)
