clean and pure. Cool and fragrant breeze infused joy in every particle in the पुष्पमाला
nature. In the soundless quietitude of the midnight, the sky was fluorescent with milky moonlight. The auspicious date was the thirteenth of the bright half of the month of Chaitra. The moon was in conjunction with the Uttaraphalguni Nakshatra (lunar mansion), the sign of victory. At that auspicious moment
Mother Trishla gave birth to a divine child. चन्द्र
The child was the embodiment of divine light. As soon as it was born, the world was filled with radiant light. It appeared as if, to behold this divine light even the blind were blessed with eyes. This light penetrated even the oppressingly dense darkness of the hell. The hell beings forgot their pain. Quarrels, fights, and battles stopped. Those suffering from a life time of hunger and thirst experienced a divine feeling of fulfilment. All around cool and fragrant breeze started blowing. Patients of chronic ailments felt cured.
