The Thirtieth Chapter
85
The mountains near the Malaya range in the Kalinga country were overrun by elephants, as if they were vying with the Malaya in height. [36] The elephants of Bharata, who had rested at the ends of the directions during the conquest of the directions, had become the elephants of the directions themselves, so the story of the other eight elephants was only for show. [37] Then, ascending to the western part, Bharata, approaching the shore of the Sahya mountain, conquered the kings on the shore of the western sea. [38] The victorious army of Bharata spread out along the shore of the sea, and it was so vast that it covered the other shore of the sea. [39] At that time, the sea, stirred by the wind, seemed to be extremely agitated, as if it were afraid of the army of Bharata on both shores. [40] The sea on this shore was moving towards that shore due to the agitation of the army, and the sea on that shore was moving towards this shore due to the agitation of the army. [41] The water of the sea was shining with the brilliance of green gems, as if the bottom of the sea, along with its seaweed, had been turned upside down after a long time. [42] The net of the sea, filled with the rays of ruby gems, seemed as if the heart of the sea had burst due to the agitation of the army, and blood was flowing out of it. [43] The sea, rolling in the lap of the Sahya mountain, seemed to be telling its sorrow to it, and the Sahya mountain, holding it, seemed to be increasing its brotherhood with it. [44] The Sahya mountain, greatly afflicted by the unbearable crowds of the army, seemed to be placing a bundle of wood on its head, as if it were raising its branches, like a sick tree. [45]
