The Thirty-Fifth Chapter
185. This Bharata, who has been weighed by all the kings with a heap of jewels, is a Tulapurusha. Alas, such wealth does not exist. ||132||
133. Surely, he desires to seize our earth, which was given by our revered father, Lord Vrishabhadeva. There is no remedy other than rejecting this greedy one. ||133||
134. O messenger, this earth, given by our father, is like a brother's wife to Bharata. Now he desires to take it. Does your master have no shame? ||134||
135. Those who are independent and desire to conquer their enemies at will, can give away everything else, leaving behind their family and the earth won by their arms. ||135||
136. It is futile to speak much. Let Bharata enjoy this earth marked by a single umbrella, or let me, the valiant one, enjoy it. Meaning: He cannot enjoy this earth without defeating me. ||136||
137. What is the use of these vain words of valor, which are devoid of the accomplishment of the purpose? Now, our valor, mine and Bharata's, should be revealed on the anvil of battle. ||137||
138. Therefore, O messenger, take this our unambiguous word, and tell Bharata that whatever is to be, will be in the midst of the battle. ||138||
139. Thus, the valiant prince, having expressed his pride, quickly dismissed the messenger, saying, "Go and quickly prepare your master for battle." ||139||
140. At that time, the kings, whose crowns clashed, causing millions of jewels to fly about, and whose jewels seemed to be scattering hundreds of sparks of fire, stood up. ||140||
141. At that moment, in the army of the great king Bahubali, filled with many warriors, the sound of the warriors' mutual conversation, announcing the clash of battle, was heard. ||141||
142. This preparation for battle by our master has taken a long time. Will we now be able to repay the favor of our master? Meaning: What great favor our master has done to us by nurturing us till now, will we be able to repay it? ||142||
