Then Chakradhara performed the worship of the Chakra Ratna according to the prescribed rituals. He also celebrated the birth of his son with great joy. || 1 ||
"No one was poor in the world during that great festival of the king. Poverty had become a thing of the past, as all the beggars were satisfied." || 2 ||
The king had piled up jewels in the four crossroads, in the streets, inside and outside the city, and he gave them all to the beggars. || 3 ||
The worship of the Chakra Ratna performed by Bharat was like a curse to his enemies, and the celebration of the birth of his son was like a peace-making ceremony for the world. || 4 ||

The swarms of bees, their bodies adorned with pollen from the Saptaparna flowers, were like the beautiful braids of autumn. || 6 ||
Just as the excellent poetry of poets is pleasing and delights the hearts of people, so too the water of ponds and rivers became clear and joyful, delighting the hearts of men. || 7 ||
The rows of swans flying around were adorned, as if they were the Lakshmi of autumn. || 8 ||
