Adipuranam
Emerging from the gate with its open doors, the mountain king seemed to have taken a breath after a long time. ||125||
A great sound echoed from the opening of the doors, like the cry of a mountain struck by a thunderbolt. ||126||
The heat of the cave did not touch him, carried away as he was by the swift steeds, protected by the gods. ||127||
From the sky, the eyes of the celestial women showered him with flowers, like the laughter of victory. ||128||
He crossed the platform with steps, like a silver mountain, and approached the western forest platform of the Sindhu river, adorned with a torana. ||129||
Crossing that platform, he entered the great land, adorned with mines, cities, villages, boundaries, and gardens. ||130||
As soon as he entered, the people of that land were terrified, and many of them, along with their wives and cattle, prepared to flee. ||131||
Some wise and brave men, with offerings of sacred rice and other things, went to meet the king and his army, and welcomed him. ||132||
"Do not fear, do not fear, stay as you please," the servants of the Chakravarti reassured the people, as they went around. ||133||
The king, who held the unbroken command, circumambulated the Mlechchha land, and at every place, he had the Mlechchha kings accept the Chakravarti's command. ||134||
He taught the Mlechchha kings, "This is the land of the Chakravarti, and he is near. Hurry, all of you, with your armies, to serve him. Bharat, the first king of this age, is the most important king, and his command, which cannot be broken, should be held on your heads." ||135-136||
