## The Adipurana
**13.** "The wise should be seen daily, their advice on good and bad sought, and they should be worshipped with great reverence, for they are the best of the best."
**14.** Reflecting thus within himself, King Bharata arose from his bed in the second half of the night. Having performed his morning rituals,
**15.** He stood for a moment in the assembly hall, surrounded by kings, and prepared to go to pay homage to the Lord.
**16.** Surrounded by a limited number of crowned kings who had risen with him, and endowed with great splendor, he set out to pay homage.
**17.** Then, accompanied by his army, the Emperor quickly reached the destination where the World Teacher resided.
**18.** Seeing the ground of the Jina's assembly from afar, the Lord of Treasures bowed, his hands joined in a lotus bud, his head lowered.
**19.** Having circumambulated the outer part of the assembly ground, the King of Men entered, crossing various enclosures.
**20.** He observed the Manastambha, the Great Chaitya Tree, the Siddhartha Tree, and the stupas adorned with offerings, and passed by them.
**21.** He saw the rows of four types of trees, the flags, and the mansions, and passed through each enclosure, observing them.
**22.** In each enclosure, he heard the songs and dances of the celestial women, and his mind was filled with joy, yet he maintained perfect composure.
**23.** Then, through the lofty gateway of the Gopura, he entered the assembly ground, adorned with the Sri Mandap, where the Ganadharas resided.
**24.** He ascended the first platform of the three-tiered seat and circumambulated it, worshipping the Dharmachakras.
