The thirty-seventh chapter. Having seen many kings deeply wounded and many kings lifeless, and having learned of the abduction of a large army, the king of Kalinga was filled with extreme anger. Now he is vigilant on all sides and, with the thought of revenge against his enemy, awaits the battle. ||86-87|| Bharat is the best among the proud and also wise, therefore he does not want to use any other means than a battle-like strategy to conquer him. ||88|| Although you can fix this, it is not apparent to whom? Or, father, let it go, you have the power to even bring down the sun, but Bharat is present in this very region, that is, he is very close from here, so it is not appropriate to reveal yourself in that way by coming out from Ayodhya at this time. ||89-90|| Those who do great favors to humans while remaining unknown, are highly praiseworthy, like the rain clouds that have gone away silently after showering. ||91|| Thus, while deliberating, the idea of subduing Ativirya came to Rama, and then the deliberation was concluded. ||92|| Then, after meeting with his loved ones, Rama spent the night happily, free from carelessness, telling the best of stories. ||93|| The next day, leaving the camp, Rama saw the Jain temple along with the Aryikas, and with folded hands, he entered it with great devotion. ||94|| Entering inside, he bowed to the Jina and the Aryikas. There, he placed Sita near the Ganini named Vardharma, and left all his weapons near Sita. Then, the extremely clever Rama disguised himself as a dancer, and Lakshmana, etc., who were also adorned with extremely beautiful forms, also donned the attire of women. ||95-96|| After that, Rama, along with everyone, set out towards the gate of the royal palace, playfully performing the auspicious worship of the Jina. ||97|| Seeing those dancers, comparable to the celestial dancers of Indra, all the citizens of the city followed them in amazement. ||98|| Then, those dancers, adorned with excellent gestures and beautiful ornaments, reached the gate of the royal palace, captivating the eyes and minds of everyone. ||99||
