## Adipurana
Knowing all this, Dharanendra, with great agitation, arose and quickly approached the Lord. || 97 || At that moment, he arrived before the Lord, having pierced the earth, carrying the materials for worship. From afar, he saw Muni Raja Vrishabhadeva, as tall as Mount Meru. || 98 || At that time, the Lord was absorbed in meditation, and his radiant body was shining with the brilliance of intense tapasya. Therefore, he appeared like a lamp placed in a windless region. || 99 || Or, the Lord was shining like a great performer of yajna, for just as a performer of yajna is eager to offer oblations into the fire, so too was the Lord eager to offer karma-oblations into the fire of great meditation. And just as a performer of yajna is accompanied by his wife, so too was the Lord accompanied by his inseparable wife, compassion. || 100 || Or, Muni Raja appeared like an elephant, for just as an elephant is fortunate, so too was the Lord fortunate, possessing great wealth. Just as an elephant has a tall body, so too did the Lord have a tall body. Just as an elephant has a strong spine, so too did the Lord belong to a noble lineage. And just as an elephant is tied to a post with ropes, so too was the Lord bound to the great post of tapasya with the ropes of great vows. || 105 || The Lord possessed a body like Mount Sumeru, for just as Mount Sumeru stands firm and unshakable, so too was his body unshakable. Just as Mount Sumeru is tall, so too was his body tall. Just as ferocious creatures like lions and tigers dwell in Mount Sumeru, so too did ferocious creatures remain peaceful and worship the Lord's body, dwelling near him. Or, just as Mount Sumeru is worshipped by great beings like Indra, so too was the Lord's body worshipped by great beings like Indra. Or, just as Mount Sumeru is worshipped with great strength and firmness, so too was the Lord's body worshipped with great strength and firmness. And just as Mount Sumeru is capable of bearing the weight of the earth, so too was the Lord's body capable of bearing the weight of peace. || 102 || At that time, the Lord had made his mind still within meditation, and his actions were extremely profound. Therefore, he appeared like the profound stillness of the ocean, when the wind does not blow. || 103 ||
