न चास्य भावं पृथिवीय ज्ञायते समन्ततो देवसहस्रकोटियो ।
घोषं उदीरयन्ति भविष्यते जिनो प्रहृष्टा वस्त्राणि च भ्रामयेन्सुः ॥ ९८ ॥

“Even on earth his true nature was not known, but all around a thousand kotis of devas proclaimed, “He will become a Conqueror,” and in exultation they waved their garments about. (98)
