226
the victorious King went to his own camp. After descending from the chariot and having a bath, he took food with his people at the end of the four days' fast, the moon of kings. Then he made an eight-day festival in honor of the Lord of Varadāma. The powerful exalt their own people for the sake of giving prestige (to themselves) in the world.
Conquest of Prabhāsatirtha (195-214) Like another Prācinabarhis in strength, the Cakrin went to the west toward Prabhāsa, following the cakra. Filling the space between heaven and earth with solid dust raised by the soldiers, in a few marches he arrived at the western ocean. Then he placed his camp on the western ocean's bank covered with a forest of arecanut trees, betel-vines, and cocoa-nut trees. Then the King made the four days' fast with reference to the Lord of Prabhāsa, and observed pauşadha in the pauşadhahouse as before. At the end of the pausadha, the King mounted the chariot and entered the ocean like another Varuņa. After crossing the water up to the hub of the chariot, the King stopped the chariot and strung the bow. With his hand the King made the bow's bowstring give a loud sound, as if it were a string of the pleasure-lute of the Sri of victory. The King drew an arrow from the quiver like a stalk of reed from the ocean and set it on the bow like a guest on a seat. Then the King shot the arrow, like a ray taken from the sun's disc, in the direction of Prabhāsa. Crossing twelve yojanas of the ocean as quickly as the wind, lighting up the sky with its light, it arrived at the house of the Lord of Prabhāsa. Angered when he saw the arrow, he became calm at once when he saw the words, like an actor who portrays different emotions.
Taking the arrow and also other gifts, the Lord of Prabhāsa went himself to the King, bowed, and announced, “Today, your Majesty, I am Prabhāsa
