## Chapter Twenty-Two
He shone like a mountain covered in golden vines, adorned with a garland of stars, eclipsing the splendor of the autumn sky. (47)
[With Six Families]
He carried a garland of pearls around his neck, making his voice resonate. He was adorned with the beauty of a mountain's flank, surrounded by a flock of birds. (48)
He resounded with two golden bells, announcing the worship of the Jinas, as if to awaken the gods. (49)
His body was as vast and thick as Jambudvipa, with long, lake-adorned tusks like the Kula mountains, making him resemble Jambudvipa itself. (50)
He shone with the whiteness of Shvetadvipa, his body resembling a moving Mount Kailasa, with cascading streams of fragrant nectar. (51)
Thus, the leader of the elephant army, the great Airavata, was described, with his vastness and other qualities. (52)
Indra, mounted on Airavata, shone like a lotus blooming on a mountain peak, with thousands upon thousands of eyes. (53)
Airavata had thirty-two mouths, each with eight teeth, each tooth with a lake, each lake with a lotus, each lotus with thirty-two petals, each petal with thirty-two divisions. (54)
On each of these long divisions, thirty-two Apsaras danced, their faces adorned with a gentle smile, their eyebrows exquisitely beautiful, causing shoots of joy to sprout in the minds of the spectators. (55)
They danced in rhythm, their faces like blooming lotuses, their movements graceful. (56)
