## Chapter 166
In the Jambudvipa, in the country of Vatsakavati, located in the eastern Videha region, in the city of Prabhakari, there lived a king named Stimita-Sagara. His queen was Vasundhara.
They had a son named Aparajita, who was born from the Nandya-Varta celestial vehicle.
Another son, named Ananta-Virya, was born to the queen Anumati from the Swastika celestial vehicle.
Both brothers were adorned with beauty, like the moons of Jambudvipa. Just as the moon is radiant, so were they. Just as the moon delights the blue lotuses, so did they delight the earth. Just as the moon dispels thirst and heat, so did they dispel the suffering of thirst. Just as the moon is the holder of sixteen arts, so were they the possessors of many skills and cleverness.
Or, they were like the twin suns. Just as the twin suns delight the lotus-like Lakshmi, so did they. Just as the twin suns have radiant bodies, so did they. Just as the twin suns destroy darkness, so did they destroy ignorance. Just as the twin suns rise eternally, so did their prosperity remain constant. Just as the twin suns are the eyes of the world, so were they the eyes of the world.
They were skilled but never deceitful, powerful but never harmful. They were free from taxes, yet they were generous and noble. They shone brightly.
They could not be compared to Kamadeva in terms of beauty, for he was bodiless. Nor could they be compared to Guru and Shukra in terms of wisdom, for they were rivals.
The shadow cast by the sun may decrease or increase, but the shadow cast by these brothers, like the shadow of a growing tree, only increases.
They never engaged in war, nor did they need any vehicle. Even the powerful kings of the enemy were afraid of their power and sought peace with them.
