That arrow, whose motion was never faltering, flew far upward and, without deviating in the least, struck the peak of the Himavat mountain, shaking the dwelling there. ||86|| The resident deva, knowing the arrival of the Chakravartin, bowed his head, thinking like the Magadha deva. ||90|| And, having restrained his anger, the deva, touching the bowstring, approached the place where the Chakravartin was seated. ||91|| He said to Bharata, "O deva, this Himavat mountain is very high and cannot be crossed by ordinary men. Yet you have crossed it today, so your character is superhuman, surpassing that of ordinary men." ||92|| "O deva, where are our dwellings, so far away, and where is your arrow? Yet, falling, this arrow has shaken us all at once." ||93|| "O deva, it seems as if your prowess, in the guise of an arrow, is leaping up into the sky, summoning us, bound to the Chakravartin, to our appointed place among the devas." ||94|| "Your victory, which has conquered the ocean and penetrated the caves of the Vijaya mountain, is now spreading even to the peaks of the Himavat mountain." ||95|| "O lord, your conquest of all directions is complete. Therefore, O victorious one, may you be victorious, prosperous, and ever-increasing. This is the meaning of the repeated cry of victory." ||96|| Thus speaking, the deva, filled with the sound of victory, served Bharata with all due respect, along with many other devas. ||97|| And, performing the abhisheka of the king of kings, Bharata, according to the proper ritual for kings, he offered him sandalwood called Goshirsh, along with a garland of medicinal herbs. ||98|| And he said, "O deva, these devas, who dwell in your domain, bowing their heads from afar, are eager for your favor." ||9||
