## Eleventh Canto

Then, the son of Karva, Bharata, celebrated a great festival. He was ready to conquer the six continents. [1]

He was accompanied by a great army of four divisions, along with a group of kings, and the Chakra Ratna, which led the way from all directions. [2]

He arrived at the Ganges, following its course, and reached the confluence of the Ganges and the ocean. At the Ganges Gate, he performed a three-day fast, purifying his mind, speech, and body. [3]

He entered the Ashvayuga, riding a swift chariot drawn by two horses. He plunged into the great ocean, reaching his knees in the water. The mighty-armed Bharata held the Vajrakanḍa bow in his hand, standing in the Vaishākha posture. He was skilled in fixing his gaze, clenching his fist, and placing the arrow on the string. [4-5]

He released a swift-moving arrow named Amogha, marked with his own name. [6]

The arrow, shining like a thunderbolt, flew twelve yojanas and landed in the palace of the Magadha king, filling the sky with its sound. [7]

The Magadha king was shaken, both in his heart and in his palace. He was filled with anger when he saw the arrow marked with the name of the Chakravarti. He realized his own merit was small and began to criticize himself. His pride was shattered, and he approached Bharata with jewels in his hand. [8-9]

He offered Bharata a necklace made of the essence of the earth, a crown, two earrings made of jewels, precious stones, clothes, and holy water. He said, "O Lord, tell me what I should do. Give me your command." Then, taking leave of Bharata, he returned to his place. Bharata also departed from there. [10-11]

He conquered the powerful armies of the Dakshinatyas, who were gathered in the Bhūtavyaantara region, and reached the Vijayanta Gate, the gateway to the ocean. [12]

Then, a celebration of Bharata's son's birth took place, along with the worship of the Chakra Ratna. After that, he set out to conquer the six continents. [1]
