Mahapuraanam Maalini
Then, with great difficulty, the charioteer, due to the uneven turning, drove the horses with their necks bent. The gentle wind blew, the waves calmed down, and the lord of the treasures, Bharata, set out towards his camp. || 204 || Somehow, having pulled the chariot wheels out of the water, and having appeased the horses, who were angry due to the repeated driving or carrying of the load, the charioteer drove the chariot through the water. The ocean, as if following the king, also surged. || 205 || "Oh, this huge mass of water will surely cover the chariot's canopy, and the waves of the ocean are breaking due to the speed of the chariot." Thus, the people standing on the shore were debating, when the chariot, pulled by swift horses, reached the other side of the ocean. || 206 || This chariot, with all its parts perfectly constructed, has crossed the waves and reached the shore safely. The wheel-wielding king Bharata has also arrived safely. The horses, whose bodies are washed by the water of the ocean and whose hooves are not worn out, have also arrived happily. "Ah! The victorious king has great merit," the people standing on the shore were talking amongst themselves. || 207 || The kings, who are stationed at the Ganga gate, with their hands folded on their jeweled crowns, and who are chanting "Victory, Victory," and the soldiers who are shouting "Victory" repeatedly outside the gate, saw the glorious king Bharata arrive at the entrance of his camp. || 208 ||
