Chapter Thirty-Four
I cannot give them this earth for their enjoyment in any other way. How can this wheel-jewel rest without conquering them? ||66|| It is a great reproach that the one who is extremely intelligent, loves his brothers, and is efficient, is also becoming attached to vices. ||67|| What is the use of all the other princes bowing down except the mighty one? And what is the use of enjoying this city without Podanpur, which is like poison? ||68|| What is the use of servants who are capable of repelling enemies with terrible weapons, when the mighty one, who is shining with new valor, is not under our control? ||69|| Or, what is the use of my warrior brothers, who are embodiments of great valor, when the arrogant mighty one is behaving so inappropriately towards me? ||70|| Thus, when the Chakravarti began to speak very harshly in anger, the priest calmed him down and, in order to begin the work in a proper way, he made the following efforts. ||71|| O Lord, why are you conquered by the force of anger, even though you have declared that you have conquered all those who are worthy of being conquered? The one who has conquered his senses should be conquered by the force of anger first. ||72|| They are your brothers, children, so they can play according to their childish nature even on the wrong path. But this darkness is not fit to stay in you, who has conquered the six internal enemies: lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride, and jealousy. That is, you should not be angry. ||73|| The person who is immersed in the dense darkness of anger and does not liberate his soul is not capable of crossing over the duality of doubt about action. Meaning: There is always doubt about the success of action due to anger. ||74|| How can a king who is not capable of conquering the enemies born from his own inner being know what is right and wrong, when he does not know his own soul? ||75|| Therefore, O Lord, stay away from this anger, which harms. Those who desire victory conquer themselves, for they conquer me with forgiveness. ||76||
