Letter Thirtieth
He whose coronation was performed by the best of the gods, whose fame is like a lotus on the peaks of the immovable mountains, ||76|| whom the gods of the Ganga and Sindhu rivers worship with offerings of jewels, whose fame is engraved on the banks of the Vrishabha mountain, ||77|| whose Lakshmi is like a water-carrier, whose gods are his servants, whose treasures are filled with jewels and wealth, ||78|| whose victorious armies have conquered all directions and roam the forests and lands on the shores of all the oceans, ||79|| O Ayushman, the world-renowned king Bharat, honoring you with auspicious blessings, is proclaiming his kingship, ||80|| for this our kingdom, which extends to all islands and oceans, does not shine without our beloved brother Bahubali. ||81|| Those riches, that wealth, those pleasures, and those possessions are to be enjoyed together by brothers, sharing the joy of their rise. ||82|| Furthermore, his kingship does not shine without your obeisance, for all men, gods, Dharmendra, and Vidyadharas bow down to him. ||83|| A foe who does not bow down does not grieve the king's heart as much as a brother who, thinking himself clever, does not bow down out of pride. ||84|| Therefore, go to the king Bharat, who does not forgive any offense, and honor him with obeisance, for bowing down to the king is the source of many riches and is desired by all. ||85|| His wheel-jewel, which rules over those who violate the commands of Bharat, whose commands never go in vain, is itself not ruled by anyone. ||86|| See these lords of the mandala, who are distressed by the violation of Bharat's commands, who are shattered by the fall of the terrible thunderbolt of punishment. ||87||
