The thirty-fourth chapter: Having descended from Mount Kailasa, like Indra from Mount Meru, the wise Chakravarti set out for Ayodhya. ||1|| Accompanied by his army, the Chakravarti shone as he journeyed towards his home, like the unstoppable flow of the Ganga, along with a multitude of rivers, towards the ocean. ||2|| After traveling for some time, the Chakravarti's army, adorned with arches and flying banners, reached the vicinity of Ayodhya. ||3|| The city, whose earth was sprinkled with fragrant sandalwood paste, was adorned as if it had bathed and applied sandalwood paste upon the arrival of its lord. ||4|| As the lord entered the city, his Chakra-ratna, which had destroyed all enemies, could not pass through the city gate and remained outside. ||5|| The city, illuminated by the rays of the Chakra-ratna stationed near the gate, appeared as if it had donned the glow of twilight, its radiance resembling saffron. ||6|| The city, with the Chakra-ratna blazing in front of it, seemed as if it were proclaiming the truth that the king of Ayodhya was indeed the foremost among all Chakravartis, and to prove this, he had donned the blazing sun-disk. ||7|| Then, many gods, protectors of the Chakra-ratna, were astonished upon seeing the Chakra-ratna standing still. ||8|| Some of the gods, filled with anger, cried out, "What is this? What is this?" and brandishing swords, they whirled around like a blazing Chakra. ||9|| Others, bewildered, wondered, "Has the sun's disk fallen from the sky? Or has another sun risen?" ||10||
