## The Thirty-Second Festival
**32.** Surrounded by a multitude of elephants and accompanied by 115 heroes, the Lord (Bharata) crossed the watery path.
**33.** After traveling for some time, he reached the northern gate of the mountain fortress (difficult path) and stayed there.
**34.** Having crossed the open gate, cleared by the eastern army, the Lord resided in the forest land of the Vijaya mountain.
**35.** Staying for a long time in the warm cave, like a mother's womb, the soldiers who emerged from it felt as if they had been reborn.
**36.** The cave, having swallowed this multitude of people, seemed to be spitting them out again, as if it had lost the power to digest them.
**37.** The wind, like a fan with branches, was blowing through the forest, comforting the army, which had been distressed by the heat of the cave for a long time.
**38.** The forest, adorned with seasonal fruits and flowers, swayed in the wind, as if it were dancing with its branches, rejoicing at the arrival of the Lord.
**39.** Having conquered the western Mlechchha region, as before, the Lord, with his army, set out to conquer the middle Mlechchha region.
**40.** Just as the sun, with its rays, scorches people, dries up the earth's moisture, and makes people suffer, the Lord, though he had emerged in the north like the sun, did not oppress people with his power, did not dry up the earth's joy, and did not cause suffering to the people.
**41.** The sun, situated in the north, burns with its rays, but King Bharata removed the suffering of the earth.
**42.** The armies of Bharata, arranged in various formations and united with each other, did not wander far from their positions, nor did they move freely.
