The Adipurana, with his long, outstretched arms, shining and tall, was like a Kalpa tree adorned with two branches at the top. ||10|| Though his body was shaded by an invisible umbrella, born of the greatness of his austerities, he was indifferent to it, being free from desire. ||11|| The tips of the branches of the nearby trees, swayed by the gentle breeze, seemed to be waving away his fatigue, like fans. ||12|| After his initiation, he attained the knowledge of Manahparyaya, and thus, the glorious Lord, possessing the four knowledges of Mati, Shruta, Avadhi, and Manahparyaya, was like a palace with a lamp burning within. ||13|| Just as a king, through his ministers, observes the comings and goings of his enemies, the other world, so too, the Lord Vrishabhadeva, through his four strong knowledges, was observing the comings and goings of all beings in the other world, their past lives. ||14|| When the Lord Vrishabhadeva was thus seated, in complete detachment, the kings of Kacha, Maha-Kacha, and others, lost their patience. ||15|| Those kings, who considered themselves to be munis, having taken initiation only two or three months ago, lost their patience, overwhelmed by the wind of Paripahar. ||16|| Unable to follow the extremely difficult path of their Guru, the Lord Vrishabhadeva, these self-proclaimed munis, abandoning their pride, began to speak to each other loudly. ||17|| "Oh, what patience, what steadfastness, what strength in his thighs! Who else, except him, could dare to do such a thing?" ||18|| How long will this Lord remain standing, without any laziness, enduring the obstacles arising from faith, etc., like an immovable mountain? ||19||
