## The Great Purana, Composed by Shri Bhagavan Jinaseanacharya
[Second Part] Chapter Twenty-Sixth
Then Chakradhara performed the worship of the Chakra according to the prescribed rituals. He also celebrated the birth of his son with great joy. [1]
No one was poor in the world during that great festival of the king. Poverty had become such that even if wealth was offered, no one would accept it. [2]
The king had placed jewels at all the crossroads, in the streets, inside and outside the city, and he gave them all to the beggars. [3]
The worship of the Chakra Ratna by Bharat was like a curse to his enemies, and the celebration of the birth of his son seemed like a peace-making ceremony for the world. [4]
Then, as Bharat was preparing for his conquest of the directions, the autumn season arrived. It was like Bharat's victorious Lakshmi, adorned with a clear and beautiful sky. [5]
The swarms of bees, their bodies adorned with pollen from the seven-leaved flowers, were like the braids of autumn, shining brightly. [6]
Just as the excellent poetry of poets is pleasing and delights the minds of people, so too the water of ponds and rivers became clear and joyful, delighting the minds of men. [7]
The rows of white swans flying around were adorned as if they were the necklaces of the autumn goddess, adorned with large pearls. [8]
