## Chapter Sixteen
**12**
**367** The king Nabhiraj, with his own hand, placed the crown upon the head of the Lord. The Lord, adorned with the great crown, is the sovereign of kings. ||22|| The band, the bond of the world, was placed upon the forehead of the Lord. This band is the means of securing the stability of the fickle queen of fortune. ||23|| The Lord, adorned with a new garment, with earrings shining in both ears, wearing a crown on his head, like the plaything of Lakshmi, was resplendent. ||234|| Wearing a garland of flowers around his neck, a girdle around his waist, and the sacred thread of Brahma on his shoulder, he was like a mountain king, bearing the Ganges on his back. ||235|| His long arms were adorned with bracelets, armlets, and other ornaments. He was like a moving Kalpa tree, with its branches spreading out in all directions. ||236|| His feet were adorned with anklets made of blue gems, and they were like two red lotuses, with bees hovering over them. ||237|| Thus, adorned with the wealth of ornaments on every part of his body, the Lord, the first Brahma, shone like a Kalpa tree, the embodiment of ornaments. ||238|| Then, the king of the gods, Indra, knowing the art of drama, performed a play called "Ananda" in that assembly, and went to heaven with joy. ||239|| The gods and demons, having finished their work, and with their minds fixed on the service of the Lord's feet, followed Indra to their respective abodes. ||240|| Then, having attained sovereignty, the Lord, the creator of the world, made efforts to protect the people in the presence of King Nabhiraj. ||241|| First, he created the people (divided them into different classes, etc.), then he established rules for their livelihood, and then he made rules to prevent them from transgressing their own dharma. ||242||
