________________
a hundred yojanas around him; just as heat vanishes with the rising moon.
Calamities such as epidemic, famine, excessive rain, drought, war, and enmity vanish where he moves about, just as darkness vanishes with the rising sun.
मार्तण्डमण्डलश्रीविडम्बि भामण्डलं विभोः परितः । आविर्भवत्यनुवपुः प्रकाशयत् सर्वतोऽपि दिशः ॥३१॥
Meaning : A halo, brighter then the solar orb becomes manifest around his body, illuminating all directions.
सञ्चारयन्ति विकचान्यनुपादन्यासमाशु कमलानि । भगवति विहरति तस्मिन् कल्याणीभक्तयो देवाः ॥३२॥ अनुकूलो वाति मरुत् प्रदक्षिणं यान्त्यमुष्य शकुनाश्च । तरवोऽपि नमन्ति भवन्त्यधोमुखाः कण्टकाश्च तदा ॥३३।। प्रारक्तपल्लवोऽशोकपादपः स्मेरकुसुमगन्धाढयः । प्रकृतस्तुतिरिव मधुकरविरुतविलसत्युपरि तस्य ॥३४॥
Meaning : When that divine being moves about in this world, the gods devoted to him create golden lotuses in the path for his feet to be put on.
Favourable wind blows, good omens appear, trees droop and the thorns bend downwards.
The Ashoka tree with red leaves and fragrant flowers throws its beautiful shadow over him; resounding with humming of bumble-bees, as if euologizing
him.
