## The Thirty-Fourth Chapter
Descending from Mount Kailasa, like Indra from Mount Meru, the wise Chakravarti set out for Ayodhya. ||1||
Accompanied by his army, the Chakravarti marched towards his home, resplendent like the unstoppable flow of the Ganga, along with a multitude of rivers, towards the ocean. ||2||
After covering a few stages, the Chakravarti's army, adorned with arches and flying banners, reached the vicinity of Ayodhya. ||3||
The city, with its earth cleansed and sprinkled with fragrant sandalwood paste, shone brightly, as if it had bathed and applied sandalwood paste upon the arrival of its lord. ||4||
As the king approached the city, his Chakra-ratna, the jewel-like wheel that had vanquished all enemies, could not enter the city gate, but stopped outside. ||5||
The city, illuminated by the rays of the Chakra-ratna resting near the gate, appeared as if it had donned the glow of twilight, its hue resembling saffron. ||6||
The city, with the Chakra-ratna blazing before it, seemed as if it had acquired divine power, or had donned a blazing fire-globe to prove the truth of its words, as if to say, "Indeed, this is King Bharata, the foremost among all Chakravartis." ||7||
Seeing the Chakra-ratna standing still, many gods, protectors of the Chakra-ratna, were filled with wonder. ||8||
Some of the gods, filled with anger, cried out, "What is this? What is this?" and brandishing swords, they whirled around like Alaat-chakras. ||9||
"Has the sun's disc fallen from the sky? Or has another sun risen?" Thus, many were repeatedly bewildered. ||10||
