## Chapter Twenty-Three
**Doddhakavrittam**
The supremely divine sound, emanating from the lotus-like mouth of the Lord, resembled the roar of clouds. It illuminated the minds of the blessed beings, dispelling the darkness of delusion like the sun. (69)
Though the divine sound was of one kind, it encompassed all human languages and many dialects, due to the greatness of the Jina. It dispelled ignorance and imparted knowledge of the truth. (70)
Just as a single stream of water acquires different tastes due to the variety of trees it flows through, so too did the divine sound of the omniscient Lord manifest in diverse ways, depending on the recipient. (71)
Like a crystal stone, which takes on the color of whatever is placed near it, due to its own purity, so too did the divine sound of the omniscient Lord, though of one kind, assume various forms depending on the listener. (72)
Some say that the divine sound was created by the gods. This is false, for it would diminish the Lord's qualities. Furthermore, the divine sound is composed of letters, and without letters, there can be no understanding of meaning in the world. (73)
**Shalini Vrittam**
Thus, the Lord Vrishabhadeva, the master of the three worlds, had this glory performed by Indra, with the devotion of the gods. The Lord of the universe, the omniscient, the master of the four infinite treasures, was served by Indra, the king of the gods. (74)
