The thirty-fifth chapter is about the green jewel-like pillar, green in hue. It was created by the power of creation to support the world. ||53|| The king, adorned with all the qualities of a Kshatriya, was radiating with brilliance. He was indeed made up of atoms of pure energy. ||54|| Seeing him from afar, like a blazing fire, the messenger was slightly shaken, his mind wavering. ||55|| He bowed down, touching the feet of the king, and with his head bowed, he was seated by the prince, not too far away. ||56|| The prince, seated on a suitable seat, addressed the messenger, his smile illuminating the world. ||57|| "Today, after a long time, we are remembered by the wheel-bearer. O blessed one, is the well-being of the lord of the world, the wielder of the wheel, who is concerned with many, well?" ||58|| "He who has not yet completed the task of conquering all the Kshatriyas, is the famous right arm of the king of kings, Bharata, well?" ||59|| "It is heard that Bharata has subdued all directions and conquered all kings. O messenger, tell me, is there still some task left for him, or not?" ||60|| Speaking thus, the prince, with his calm energy, concise words, and measured speech, gave the messenger an opportunity to speak. ||61|| The messenger, ready to speak, with his teeth shining, showed the unity of words and meaning. ||62|| "O lord, in the mirror of your words, the future task is clearly seen, for even a fool like me can understand its meaning." ||63|| "O lord, we are messengers, only carriers of the king's message. We are slow in understanding the merits and demerits, and we follow the dictates of our master." ||64||
