Mahapuraanam
In the forest, the groups of hair of the women of the forest dwellers were being blown about, the tails of the peacocks dancing in the forest were repeatedly striking against the skulls, the bumblebees were being driven hither and thither, the blooming forest creepers were being shaken a little, and the air, cooled by the touch of the mountain springs, was all around. || 172 - 173 || The kings who were dwelling in those countries, conquered by the victorious army, were humbly worshipping Maharaja Bharat at every encampment. || 174 || Thus, having subdued the entire earth of the northern Bharat region, the victorious Maharaja Bharat again arrived at the foot of the mountain for the purpose of victory. || 175 || There, he stationed the army and gave orders to the commander-in-chief, saying, "Open the door of the cave and quickly conquer the eastern region." || 176 || While the commander-in-chief was returning after conquering the Mlechchha kings, six months passed for Maharaja Bharat, who was living there happily. || 177 || The Vidyadharas, who were dwelling on the southern and northern ranges of the mountain of victory, came there along with their respective masters to have a darshan of Maharaja Bharat. || 178 || The Vidyadhara kings, bowing their heads from a distance, had assumed the command of Maharaja Bharat on their heads, under the pretext of the group of rays of his nails. Meaning - When the Vidyadhara kings were bowing, the rays of the nails of Maharaja Bharat's feet fell on their heads, and they appeared as if they were assuming the command of Bharat on their heads. || 179 || Both Nimi and Vinami, the kings of the Vidyadharas, came near to have a darshan of Bharat, along with the main wealth of their country. || 180 || Maharaja Bharat was greatly pleased with the main wealth of the Vidyadhara country, which was not available to anyone else, that Nimi and Vinami had brought as a gift. || 181 || Just as the ocean is filled by the flow of rivers, in the same way, at that time, the desire of Maharaja Bharat was fulfilled by the group of many jewels, including the jewel of the daughter, which Nimi and Vinami had brought as a gift. || 182 || The glorious Bharat, with the auspicious ones as his companions, married the excellent daughter named Subhadra, the sister of King Nimi. || 183 ||
Who was happy? || 171 ||
