Mahapuraanam
"Enough, enough, let this audacity cease!" he was reviled. Then the great Chakravarti went into deep contemplation. ||67|| (He lifted up the Chakravarti with his hand, saying "You have done enough!" and then, with great courage, he lowered him to the ground.) ||68|| He was honored by the victorious kings, who came to him. The powerful lord felt himself to be superior. ||69|| He thought, "What a shameful act my elder brother has done for this perishable kingdom!" ||70|| "This kingdom, bitter in its consequences, is fleeting and despicable. It is like a wicked wife, difficult to abandon, yet abandoned by those who are wise." ||71|| "Alas, those who are attached to worldly pleasures never consider their evil nature, their harmfulness, their fleeting nature, and their dullness." ||72|| "Who, being wise, would desire these objects, which are like poison, and under whose control a being falls into a series of misfortunes?" ||73|| "It is better to take poison, which kills a being in one life, or perhaps does not kill at all. But worldly pleasures kill beings again and again, endlessly." ||74|| "These objects, which appear pleasant at first, but are bitter in their consequences, are not worthy of being sought after." ||75||
But because they were inviolable, he circumambulated them and, losing his brilliance, remained near them.
Meaning: Weapons brought by the gods are not effective against those who are family, and because Bharteshwar had a brother who was a Pitaka, the Chakra of Bharat was not effective against Bahubali. His brilliance faded, and he circumambulated Bahubali and remained near him. ||66|| At that time, the great kings reviled the Chakravarti and said with sorrow, "Enough, enough, let this audacity cease!" Hearing this, the Chakravarti was filled with even greater sorrow. ||67|| You have shown great prowess. Saying this in a loud voice, the courageous and valiant Bahubali first weighed Bharat Raja in his hands and then, lifting him from his shoulders, placed him on the low ground, or (according to the commentary, "Dhiro Annikrishtaam" means) placed him on a high place. ||68|| Many good kings came near and honored Maharaja Bahubali, praising his victory. At that time, Bahubali felt himself to be superior. ||69|| At the same time, he began to think, "Look, what a shameful act my elder brother has done for this perishable kingdom!" ||70|| This kingdom is very painful in its consequences and fleeting, so it is despicable. It is like a wicked wife, because just as a wicked wife leaves one husband and goes to another, so too does this kingdom leave one king and go to another. This kingdom abandons beings, but unwise beings do not abandon it. This is a matter of sorrow. ||71|| Alas, those who are attached to worldly pleasures never think about the evil nature, harmfulness, fleeting nature, and dullness of these pleasures. ||72|| Who, being wise, would desire these objects, which are like poison, and under whose control a being falls into a series of misfortunes? ||73|| It is better to take poison, which kills a being in one life, or perhaps does not kill at all. But worldly pleasures kill beings again and again, endlessly. ||74|| Those which appear pleasant at the beginning, but are bitter in their consequences, are not worthy of being sought after. ||75||
