Mahapuraanam
Hearing these words, Shripaal was very happy and proceeded from there, reaching the vicinity of Gajpur city, situated in the southern part of Vijayardha mountain. || 128 || There, a certain elephant, having uprooted a pillar, was intoxicated with pride. The Kumar, playing with him with the thirty-two games prescribed in the scriptures, brought him under control. || 129 || Then, as the sun rose, the people of the city, knowing of the Kumar's arrival after conquering the elephant, were pleased and, with contented minds, hoisted fluttering flags on their houses and, inspired by the auspicious rise of the Kumar, went out to welcome him. || 130-131 || The Kumar, proceeding from there, went through the sky and reached Hayapur city. There, a horse stood near him, circumambulating the Kumar. The Kumar saw all this himself, but was not surprised at all. || 132 || When the city dwellers learned of this, they all honored the Kumar. The Kumar, proceeding from there, went on further according to his own will. || 133 || Proceeding, he reached the great mountain called Suseema, situated in the midst of the four countries. There, for some reason, many people were gathered. They were trying to draw swords from their sheaths, but none of them were able to do so. But the Kumar, with ease, drew it out, and, with it, he struck a clump of bamboo, which was standing there entangled. Seeing this, all the people, with great joy, honored and respected the Kumar. || 134-136 || At that time, a mute man came there and, uttering the words "Victory, Victory," bowed down to the Kumar and sat down. || 137 || There, a man with a crooked finger came. As soon as he saw the Kumar, his finger became straight. He stretched out the finger of his hand, folded his hands, and stood near, offering salutations. || 138 || There, a man was making a concoction of diamond dust, but it was not being made. But, due to the presence of the Kumar, it was made. Therefore, he also, with great humility, saw the Kumar.
