## Forty-fourth Chapter
The chariots, fully equipped with all weapons, were as numerous as before. They were drawn by powerful horses, and their banner-like arms danced. The women, skilled in warfare, fought like warriors. Therefore, the infantry of Jayakumar was more numerous than that of other kings. The sound of the drums, as if multiplying the brilliance of the heroic Lakshmi's dance, was growing louder in the battlefield.
Mounted on the elephant named Vijayardha, born in the forest, with a handsome body, adorned with the marks of youth, education, and auspicious signs, with a noble character, a beautiful form, and a powerful desire, whose pride was overflowing, who had witnessed many battles, and whose banner was adorned with the emblem of an elephant, Jayakumar, accompanied by his entire army and all his younger brothers, set out, defying the whims of the end of the age.
The invincible Akampan, who shook his enemies but remained unshaken himself, said to his daughter Sulochana, "Stay here with your mother and perform the peace-offering with reverence," and sent her to the beautiful and sacred shrine called Nityamanohar. Then, with his sons, he set out, his army like a vast ocean, stirring the wind.
Sukethu, Suryamitra, Shridhara, Jayavarman, and Devakirti, all these kings, along with their armies, joined Jayakumar.
These five renowned kings, adorned with crowns, and other valiant warriors, who were the dependents of the Nath and Soma dynasties, all joined Jayakumar.
Meghaprabha, whose brilliance filled the sky with the radiance of his sharp sword, and who was endowed with the power of knowledge, went forth, accompanied by the Vidyadevas.
