Adipurana
||157
When this Dev (Vrishabhadeva) descended to earth, since then there has been no interruption in the coming and going of the Devas. ||148|| Seeing the dance of the celestial damsel named Neelanjana, the Dev (Vrishabhadeva) experienced detachment from worldly pleasures without any specific reason. ||149|| At that time, the venerable Laukantika Devas, who had arrived, addressed him, which further strengthened his mind in detachment. ||150|| Detached from desires and worldly pleasures, he even became indifferent to his own body. He now considers palaces, chariots, and kingdoms as mere grass. ||151|| Just as a rutting elephant enters the forest seeking pleasure in roaming freely, similarly, Dev Vrishabhadeva desires to enter the forest for the sake of freedom and happiness, and the Devas are encouraging him to go. ||152|| Even if the Dev resides in the forest, happiness will still be under his control. For the well-being of his subjects, he has placed his sons on the throne. ||153|| Therefore, this journey that the Dev has begun will bring him happiness, and may these people also prosper by their good fortune. Let no one be disheartened. ||154|| May the Dev Vrishabhadeva, whose soul is indestructible, live long, achieve victory, be prosperous, and return to protect us. ||155|| Today, the great soul, Bharat, is giving a great gift, fulfilling the hopes of the world, by the command of the Tribhuki. ||156|| Be content with the golden gift that Bharat has given. Here, horses are being given along with their palanquins, and here, elephants are being distributed. ||157|| Thus, with various words of praise from both the ignorant and the wise, Dev Vrishabhadeva slowly moved towards the outskirts of the city. ||158||
