## Chapter Nineteen
277. Once, those elders, filled with envy, went to King Samudravijaya, bowed down, and in private, said to him, "O King, just as a father listens to his child's words, whether they are wise or foolish, so too, grant us safety and listen to our words, whether they are wise or foolish." 14.
"O Lord, you are a king because you protect the people, you are an emperor because you protect the earth, and you are the king of the world because you delight the people." 16.
"Just as in the time of your father, the people were happy and free from petty troubles, so too, in your reign, the people are happy and free from petty troubles." 17.
"This fertile land, free from the constraints of rain, bears fruit every year with the best of grains, like rice and barley." 18.
"O Lord, just as the fields are prosperous, so too, is commerce. Your kingdom is overflowing with wealth due to the abundance of buying and selling by merchants." 19.
"Like pots, many cows, buffaloes, and excellent breed of cows, satisfied with lush grass, constantly give milk, filling pots and pots." 20.
"Even a small amount of food prepared for the household, due to the giving of charity and the food of the righteous, does not last until the end of the day." 21.
"O Lord, in the sixty-year cycle of time, things naturally change, but due to your influence, the time for us is like the Dundubhi, unchanging. According to the science of astrology, there are sixty years, which change in sequence, bringing with them both loss and gain. But among these years, there is also a year called Dundubhi, in which the people's time passes in happiness. The people are saying to King Samudravijaya that even though the years are changing, for us, due to your influence, the Dundubhi year has become permanent." 22.
"O King, in this way, while there is happiness, there is also a little sorrow, but it cannot be revealed, just like the pain in one's own stomach." 23.
The entire city was filled with excitement, inside and out, and everywhere, the story of Vasudeva was being told. 13.
After that, at some point, those elders, whose hearts were filled with envy, went to King Samudravijaya, bowed down, and in private, said to him, "O King, just as a father listens to his child's words, whether they are wise or foolish, so too, grant us safety and listen to our words, whether they are wise or foolish." 14.
