The Eighteenth Chapter

413. The mountain stood high, as if it had humbled the moon with its Chandrakanta gems, the stars with its clusters of Kumuda flowers, and the constellations with the spray of its waterfalls. 16. In the autumn, when white clouds, driven by the wind, took shelter on the white banks of the forests, the mountain seemed to have grown larger because of those clouds. 16. The sound of the waterfalls on the mountain made it seem as if Mount Meru was only high, not as long as ours. It was as if the mountain was laughing loudly with joy. 16. "I am very pure and made of silver from the base to the peak. Other mountains are not as pure as me," it seemed to have declared its height. 169. The mountain always had contact with the celestial beings and the rivers Ganga and Sindhu flowed below it. For these reasons, it had conquered other mountains and was therefore called Vijaya. Meaning: Other mountains do not have celestial beings living on them, nor do the Ganga and Sindhu flow below them. Instead, they flow above the Himalayas. It was because of these special qualities that the mountain seemed to have conquered other mountains, and because of this victory, it was given the meaningful name Vijaya (Victory + A + Rddha). 170. The celestial beings constantly worshipped the mountain as they would a Jina, because just as the Jina is immovable, meaning he upholds the unshakeable principles, so too was the mountain immovable, meaning it always remained unshakeable. Just as the Jina is lofty, meaning he is the best, so too was the mountain lofty, meaning it was high. Just as the Jina is pure, meaning he is free from the karmic defilements of attachment, aversion, etc., and is therefore pure, so too was the mountain pure, meaning it was free from dust, thorns, etc., and was therefore clean. Just as the Jina is the teacher of the world, so too was the mountain the best in the world, or its glory. 171. Or perhaps the mountain was imitating the creator of the world, the Jina, because just as the Jina is imperishable, meaning he is free from destruction, so too was the mountain imperishable, meaning it was not subject to destruction by a deluge, etc. Just as the Jina is impenetrable, so too was the mountain impenetrable, meaning it was not penetrable by forests, etc. 172. The world, being sick, was paying homage to the teacher, because of his imperishability, impenetrability, his greatness, and his sweetness.
