The twenty-fifth chapter, the minds of those who live by boats are dejected, like the dejected minds of men who have lost their authority. ||57|| The glorious one, the sole eye of the universe, the ever-rising sun, shining brightly, like the king of the Bharatas. ||58|| Thus, with the clear rays of the moon, in the arrival of autumn, the Chakravarti, with the Chakra jewel in front, undertook the campaign of conquest. ||59|| At that time, the deep sounds of the drums of departure were heard, which were listened to by the peacocks, who raised their necks, fearing the pomp of the clouds. ||60|| The lord, adorned with auspicious ornaments, wore a chest adorned with garlands and white sandalwood, as if the goddess of autumn was serving him. ||61|| The king wore two divine garments, white like the moonlight, fine and soft, as if they were brought as gifts by the goddess of autumn. ||62|| The lord was adorned with the Brahma Sutra, hanging down to his knees, like the Himalayas adorned by the flow of the Ganges water touching its banks. ||63|| The king, whose head was raised high by the crown, wore earrings in both his ears, as if the sun and moon had come to congratulate him on his victory. ||64|| The Kaustubha gem, shining brightly on the chest of the king of the Bharatas, was as beautiful as a lamp of auspiciousness, signifying the rise of victory and prosperity. ||65||
