## Thirty-Second Chapter

The Cakrin (Emperor) was delighted to see the walls of the Vṛṣabha mountain. He was known as Dhṛti, the one who conquered the world, and his name was inscribed on the walls. || 140 ||

When the Cakrin took a Kākiṇī gem to write something, he saw the names of thousands of kings inscribed there. || 141 ||

He was amazed to see the names of countless Cakrins who had ruled over the earth for countless kalpas (epochs). || 142 ||

Then, the Cakrin, whose pride was somewhat subdued, was astonished and did not consider this Bharata land to be under his sole rule. || 143 ||

He himself erased the inscription of one Cakrin and thought that almost all beings in the world were self-centered. || 144 ||

Then, on that stone slab, with his own hand, he wrote a eulogy with a noble meaning. || 145 ||

"I am Bharata, the moon of the Ikshvāku dynasty, the sun of the sky, the lord of the earth in all four directions. I am the eldest son of my mother, who had a hundred sons. I am glorious, I have subdued all the Vidyadharas and earthly kings. I am the son of Prajāpati, the great Vṛṣabha. I am noble, I am a hero, I am pure, I am wise, I am a Cakrin, I am a hero, I am the first among Cakrins. And besides, the victorious one who has conquered the entire earth, who has marched around the entire earth, who has eighteen crore horses that move on land and water, who has eighty-four lakh elephants in his victorious army, whose dust raised by his conquest of the world has covered the sky, whose cheeks are covered with the dust of the battlefield, whose face is adorned with victory and prosperity." || 146-150 ||

The walls of the Vṛṣabha mountain, like a auspicious mirror, were reflecting the faces of Nirjala and Vijayalakṣmī, captivating the heart of Bharata. || 139 ||

The Cakravartin Bharata was very pleased to inscribe his name on the stone walls of the mountain, which had conquered the entire earth. || 140 ||

Then, the Cakravartin, whose pride was somewhat subdued, was astonished and did not consider this Bharata land to be under his sole rule. Meaning: Seeing the names of countless Cakravartins inscribed on the walls of the Vṛṣabha mountain, Bharata's pride was destroyed, and he accepted that there had been many powerful kings in this Bharata land like him. || 143 ||

Cakravartin Bharata erased the eulogy of one Cakravartin with his own hand and, while doing so, he considered almost the entire world to be self-centered. || 144 ||

Then, the Cakravartin, whose wealth was fame, wrote a eulogy with a noble meaning on that smooth stone slab, which was like the palm of his hand. || 145 ||
