Esपि समकालमृतवो भगवन्तं तं तदोपतिष्ठन्ते । स्मरसाहायककरणे प्रायश्चित्तं ग्रहीतुमिव ॥ ३५ ॥
Meaning: At that time, all the six seasons simultaneously appear before the revered Teerthankar, as if to accept expiatory vows from him for having helped the god of love
श्रस्य पुरस्तानिनदन बिजृम्भते दुन्दुभिर्नभसि तारम् । कुर्वाणो निर्वाणप्रयाण कल्याणमव सद्यः ।। ३६ ।।
Meaning In front of the revered Teerthankar, the divine drum gives beats as if announcing his march toward auspicious emancipation.
पञ्चापि चेन्द्रियार्थाः क्षण न्मनोज्ञीभवन्ति तदुपान्ते । को वा न गुणोत्कर्ष सविधे महतामवाप्नोति ॥३७॥
Meaning Even the obnoxious subjects of the five senses assume pleasing character around this divine Teerthankar. What does not get increasing excellence when it comes in contact with the magnanimous ?
प्रस्य नखा रोमाणि च वधिष्णून्यपि न हि प्रवर्धन्ते । भवशतसञ्चितकर्मच्छेदं दृष्ट्देव भीतानि ॥ ३८ ॥
Meaning: The nails and hair of this divine Teerthankar stop growing, though their nature is to grow; they appear to be afraid looking at the mass destruction of the karmas accumulated during hundreds of past-births.
