The Sacred Fire from heaven.

I myself, Śrī-Madhurendrasūri, saw this Fire falling from heaven, here, at the time of the arrival of Śrī-Vīraśakti in 1138 Śaka.

I have seen the Fire lighting up the directions of space and falling from heaven into the kingdom of Śrī-Jayavarman - a great wonder, which I believe will entail good results, namely high birth, two good eyes, and eminent family. May these be mine!
