## Chapter Fourteen
**225** The minister, bowing low, said, "O Lord, this is most auspicious. I have made this garland for you to wear on your neck." **6** "Please bathe and eat as usual. Apply divine unguents, wear fine clothes, chew betel, and adorn yourself with garlands." **68** Thus, having bowed and made his request, the minister, with his eyes of wisdom, knew that the Lord, though averse to eating without the garland, would do as he wished. **69** Knowing the intention of the Lord, the sun, as if out of compassion, contracted his rays and moved towards the west. **70** When the sun, the mighty friend of the world, with his brilliance diminished, began to set, all the energetic people became devoid of energy. **71** Just as the swans, with their eyes, pull the sun down, so too, the sun, somehow, slowly disappeared. **72** Then, as if the whole world was filled with the redness of the evening, so too, the heart of the Lord, Su-mukha, was filled with the love of the garland. **73** Then, the lotus buds, whose brilliance was shattered, became contracted. For who, in the time of a friend's misfortune, can flourish? **74** As darkness, seeking the redness of the evening, covered the world, it seemed as if the world, having shed its red garment, had donned a blue one. **75** Just as, in the uneven time of the evening, when darkness, like a thief, has enveloped the world, even learned men cannot discern the different classes of people, so too, at the beginning of the evening, when darkness had overwhelmed the world, learned men could not discern the different classes of people. **76**
