ते मूर्धना अभिनता सर्वे हृष्टा कृतांजलिपुटा अमरा ।
वन्दन्ति तां विपुलपुण्यधरां मायां जिनस्य जननीं शयने ॥ ४० ॥
te mūrdhanā abhinatā sarve hṛṣṭā kṛtāṃjalipuṭā amarā |
vandanti tāṃ vipulapuṇyadharāṃ māyāṃ jinasya jananīṃ śayane || 40 ||
All these immortals ecstatically bowing their heads and raising their joined hands, lauded the virtuous Maya, the Conqueror’s mother, as she lay on the bed. (40)
