## Thirty-Second Chapter
116. The first Nidhipati-Chakravarti, making the entire earth free from enemies, again set out with his forces towards the banks of the Himalayas. ||7||
While traveling, the Lord of the Earth, with his victorious elephants, plowed the land on the banks of the Sindhu River. When he reached the Sindhu waterfall, he was consecrated by the Sindhu Devi. ||7||
Knowing that the victorious one had arrived near her abode, the Devi, with her family and adorned with jewels, came to meet him. ||8||
With her own hands, she consecrated the Maharaja Bharat, seated on the Bhadraasana, with the holy water of the Sindhu River, filled in hundreds of golden pots. ||8||
After the consecration, the Devi, adorned with auspicious garments and ornaments, blessed the Maharaja Bharat with victory and said, "O Lord, I am purified by your sight today." ||8||
Receiving the divine Bhadraasana given by the Sindhu Devi, Bharat set out on his journey, and the Sindhu Devi followed him for some distance. ||83||
Reaching the Himalayas, he conquered its banks and, after many stops, reached the vicinity of the Himvat-Kuta. ||84||
There, he fasted with his priest, worshipped the divine weapons, and slept on a pure bed. ||85||
Considering that the worship of weapons was a ritual and not a sign of weakness, the kings, who honored him, saw that Bharat, without effort, strung his bow, called Vajrakanḍa. ||86||
He then placed his divine, infallible arrow, marked with the letters of his name, on the bow, and took his position in the Vaishakha stance. ||87||
When Bharat, with a roar like a lion, released the arrow, the group of gods, pleased, showered him with flower garlands. ||88||
