"Vatasthanavarasthaam" foot-place, small-hole-place, mountain-peak-place. You should know us, the wandering ones, as all-pervading, all-knowing. || 113 || Thus, with peaceful, powerful words, and with great respect, he offered fourteen ornaments to the god, Bharata. || 114 || Obtaining those ornaments, which were unattainable by others, the Chakravarti attained supreme joy, and the god also attained great joy from the respectful treatment given by the Chakravarti. || 115 || Then, to facilitate the entry of the god into the cave of the mountain for the sake of victory, the Chakravarti sent his commander ahead to open the cave door. || 116 || The Chakravarti said to his commander, "Open the cave door and conquer the western region until the cave is peaceful." || 117 || Thus, carrying the Chakravarti's command like a garland on his head, and knowing all the methods taught by the god Kritamala, the clever commander, with some horses and soldiers, mounted on the horse-jewel, with the staff-jewel in his hand, set out. || 118-119 || After going a short distance, and crossing the forest-altar of the Sindhu river, he reached the altar on the bank of the Vijayardha mountain. || 120 || First, the commander climbed the altar of the Vijayardha mountain by the steps, and then, facing west, he went to the front of the cave. || 121 || Sitting on the horse-jewel, the commander said, "Victory to the Chakravarti!" and struck the cave door with the staff-jewel, making a loud sound. || 122 || When the cave door opened due to the impact of the staff-jewel, a great heat came out from inside. || 123 || The two doors, bearing the sound of the staff-jewel's strike, seemed to be sweating with pain from the heat coming out of the cave. || 124 ||

It did not happen. || 112 || O all-pervading one, you who benefit all, consider us, who dwell on banyan trees, in small pits, on mountain peaks, in the hollows of trees, and in shelters made of leaves, and who wander day and night, as all-pervading. || 113 ||
