Hiranyagarbh
Hiranyagarbh left his personal chamber and went towards the chamber in which he held political consultations with his ministers. He sent the door-keeper to inform the Chief Minister to come to the chamber for some secret political consultation. As soon as he received this information, the Chief Minister came to the chamber of consultations.
"May the King be victorious !” “Dear Chief Minister !” “At your command .......!"
“Dear Chief Minister! Prince Nagush is worthy of being crowned king of the country. He has reached the proper age. Now, we should celebrate the coronation without delay".
“Dear King! Where is the need for such a hurry ?"
"Hurry? What are you saying dear Chief Minister ? Already there has been much delay. My father and grandfather did not delay thus”.
"Your Highness! The prince is worthy in every respect to be crowned king of the country". The Chief Minister said expressing his opinion.
Prince Nagush had attained mastery over the various arts and accomplishments essential for a king. Mrigavathi had taken great care regarding the external and internal development of her son, Nagush. He had mastered the scriptures and the arts of war. He had attained mastery over many mighty weapons. At the same time, he was incomparable in his mastery over the art of carrying out spiritual endeavours for spiritual elevation.. Nobility and culture had permeated every aspect of his perso nality. He had acquired great popularity among people. In a way, it is not an exaggeration to say that he held an imperialistic sway over the hearts of the people of Ayodhya. He married a princess of great nobility and beauty by name Simhika.
The coronation of Prince Nagush as the King of the country took place with all grandeur and eclat.
