The Thirty-Fifth Chapter
199
Victorious, with his banners unfurled, and his directions filled with the intoxication of victory, Bahubali Maharaj, with his strength increased, and his glory firmly established, rose from his bed. "Bowing down to the learned, he, the young one, with his strong arms, went forth with his army to the battlefield, which was adorned by the earth." ||246||
Thus ends the Thirty-Fifth Chapter of the Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra, a collection of the great Purāṇas, composed by the venerable Jinaseṇācārya, which describes the preparations for war by Kumāra Bahubali. ||35||
Excellent and worthy of kings, Bahubali Maharaj awoke to achieve victory, with auspicious songs. Just as the elephant Airavata, upon waking from sleep, gradually leaves the bank of the Ganges, so too did he, upon waking from sleep, gradually leave his bed. ||248||
He, whose glory was enhanced by the chieftains of his army, who himself possessed immense strength, and whom many kings from far and wide desired to see, went forth to the battlefield, with his army, stopping the directions with the clouds of his victorious elephants, intoxicated with victory. ||249||
Thus ends the Thirty-Fifth Chapter of the Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra, a collection of the great Purāṇas, composed by the venerable Jinaseṇācārya, which describes the preparations for war by Kumāra Bahubali.
