In that assembly of gods, the Lord was present, His presence wondrous and extraordinary. Filled with devotion, Bharata bowed down to Him with joy. ||152|| With appropriate words, Bharata, the king, praised the Lord, who is worshipped by both humans and gods, with many hymns filled with meaning. He sat down in his designated place, bowing with humility. ||153|| Having drunk the nectar of Dharma from the Lord, the assembly, filled with gods and demigods, was satisfied, like a lotus satisfied by the rays of the sun. ||154|| Then, standing in the middle of the assembly, Bharata, with folded hands, like a personification of humility, spoke these words. ||155|| From the lotus-like mouth of Bharata, adorned with the saffron-colored rays of his teeth, emerged a sweet voice, as if Saraswati herself, radiant and beautiful, had emerged from his mouth. ||156|| O Lord, this assembly, filled with gods and demigods, is becoming radiant like a lotus, awakened by your presence, as their faces, like lotuses, are blooming. ||157|| O Lord, your divine words seem like nectar, poured upon this world, which was lost in the darkness of ignorance, for its rebirth. ||158|| O Lord, if the rays of your words, which destroy the darkness of ignorance, did not appear, then surely this entire world would remain lost in the dense darkness of ignorance. ||159|| O Lord, I am fulfilled simply by seeing you. Indeed, who is not fulfilled by the presence of a great treasure? ||160|| Having heard your words, I am even more fulfilled. When people are fulfilled simply by seeing nectar, what about the one who tastes it? Surely, he will be even more fulfilled. ||161|| O Lord, it is said that rain in the forest is desirable for everyone. Today, I have seen the rain of Dharma-water poured by you, and it has become clear to me. ||162||
