Chapter Twenty
Contemplating the virtues of friendship, joy, compassion, and equanimity, [the Tirthankara] walked a path of four hands' length, not too slow, not too fast, with a gait like that of a maddened elephant. [He] considered the city filled with people as a desolate forest, and, free from anxiety, [He] wandered, relying on the Chandri-caryā. Just as the moon shines its light on the homes of both the rich and the poor, so too did the Lord, free from attachment and aversion, go to the homes of both the poor and the rich to receive food. Thus, entering each home as appropriate, [He] went to the royal palace to enter. The Acharya says that to be free from attachment and aversion and to hold the attitude of equality is the eternal, supreme, ancient Dharma. ||64-68||
Then, Siddhartha, the gatekeeper, quickly went to King Soma-Prabha and informed him of the Lord's arrival, [who was] with his younger brother, Shreyans-Kumar. ||69|| Hearing this, King Soma-Prabha and the young prince Shreyans, both, along with the inner palace, the army commander, and the ministers, quickly arose. ||70|| Rising, the two brothers went outside to the courtyard of the palace, and both, from afar, bowed down with humility and devotion, paying homage to the Lord's feet. ||71|| They offered water for the Lord's feet, along with a portion of food, circumambulated the world-teacher, Lord Rishabhadeva, and, having done all this, both were so pleased as if a treasure had come to their home. ||72|| Just as trees acquire buds from the touch of the Malaya wind, so too, these two brothers, filled with joy at the sight of the Lord, were experiencing goosebumps on their bodies. ||73|| Seeing the Lord's face, their lotus-like faces blossomed, and they appeared like two ponds filled with lotuses in the morning. ||74|| Filled with joy, their heads bowed down under the weight of devotion, and they shone like two beautiful statues. ||75||
