Thus, the Cakravartin, whose intellect is never deluded in the matter of work, sent forth the messengers, whose purpose was fulfilled, to his brothers. || 89 || Having gone there as directed, they saw them and, as was proper, delivered the message of the king to them. || 90 || Then, after the report of their mission was completed, those brothers, who were hardened by the pride of their acquired power, said to the messengers: || 91 || "What the Adiraja, Bharata, has said is true and acceptable to us, for in the absence of a father, the elder brother is worthy of worship by the younger brothers. || 92 || But our father, who sees all the worlds, is present before us. He is our authority, and this power of ours is his gift. || 93 || Therefore, in this matter, we are subject to the command of our father's feet, and we are not independent. We have nothing to take or give from or to Bharatesvara. || 94 || And the invitation that he has given us for the purpose of division, that is, the summons, has made us very happy and satisfied. || 95 || Thus, having honored the messengers with due respect, like kings, and having given them gifts and letters in return, those princes immediately sent them away. || 96 || Having honored the messengers and given a suitable reply to Bharata, those princes, who were devoted to their father, went to him to deliver the task entrusted to them by him. || 97 || Having gone there, they saw their father, who was adorned with appropriate ornaments, like the great mountain, the abode of the peak of Kailasa. || 98 || Having prostrated themselves before him in accordance with the rules and having worshipped him as was proper, those princes declared to the Lord, the destroyer of Kamadeva: || 99 || "We have been born of you, and we have obtained this supreme prosperity from you. We desire your favor, and we worship none other than you. || 100 ||
