The fourth chapter, "The Form of Mahabala," depicts the splendor of his youthful exuberance, as if all beauty were concentrated in him. (18) He conquered the world not only by his handsome appearance but also by the power of mantras acquired through the company of elders. (189) He had four wise ministers, Mahaमति, सम्भिन्नमति, शतमति, and स्वयंबुद्ध, who were like his vital breaths, loyal, and farsighted. (190) They were the stable pillars of his kingdom. (191) Among them, स्वयंबुद्ध was a pure सम्यग्दृष्टि, while the other three were मिथ्यादृष्टि. Despite this difference in views, they were all dedicated to the welfare of their king. (192) With these four ministers, like well-coordinated limbs, Mahabala's kingdom expanded like a समवृत्त. (193) He sometimes consulted all four ministers, sometimes three, sometimes two, and sometimes only the realistic स्वयंबुद्ध. (194) He decided matters himself, and his ministers merely praised his decisions, like the celestial beings who praised the Jina's renunciation. (195)
