The twenty-eighth chapter, "The Play of the Lion,"
There, greeted with auspicious cries of "Victory! Victory!" by the delighted captives, the king, having left his camp, reached the great gate of the palace. He was welcomed with auspicious rice grains and blessings by the women of the inner palace and the courtesans. The lord of wealth, Bharat, entered his tent, where the flags fluttered in the wind.
**Spring Verse**
"This god, who conquered the ocean without even touching it, has arrived! Bring auspicious rice grains, the rice grains of the Siddhas and the Shreshthas. Give blessings, and come quickly to stand before him!" Such was the clamor that arose in the camp at that time.
"May you live long, O god! May you be prosperous! May you always grow! May you conquer your enemies! May you conquer the earth! May you live long! May all your desires be fulfilled!" Thus, the elders showered the king with hundreds of auspicious blessings.
Although the lord Bharat had already conquered his enemies, he was blessed at that time, "O god, conquer your enemies!" Although he had already obtained the fourteen jewels, he was blessed, "O god, rule the earth!" And although he was already long-lived, he was blessed, "O god, live long!" Thus, with auspicious intentions, people showered him with blessings, even though the events had already occurred.
"This king, whose only helper is his virtue, has crossed the vast, boundless ocean, and has returned victorious, without any obstacles. Indeed, what is there that cannot be overcome when pure virtue is present?"
