Part 5: The fourteen dreams of Viṣṇu

A great elephant, like Vaitāḍhya on a small scale, white; a white bull with high horns like an autumn-cloud with fish^[1]; a superior lion with his tail erect like an umbrella being carried; Mahālakṣmī being sprinkled like another embodiment of herself (the queen); a fragrant wreath of flowers like her own glory incarnate; a full moon bathed in moonlight like a tank of nectar; a sun, shining like the crest-jewel of the sky; a flagstaff with fluttering pennants like a tree with branches; a very precious full pitcher like a depository of good fortune; a lotus-pool with large lotuses like another Lake Padma; an ocean with high waves wishing to ascend to the. sky; a fine large aerial car like a younger brother of Pālaka^[2]; a heap of jewels like all the wealth taken from the ocean; a smokeless fire like an imitation of Bhauma (Mars)—Queen Viṣṇu saw these fourteen great dreams, which indicate the birth of a Tīrthakṛt, entering her mouth.

On the twelfth day of the black half of Tapasya (the moon being) in Śravaṇa, Queen Viṣṇu gave easy birth to a son, marked with a rhinoceros, gold color.
