अनेक उत्सवों को प्रकट करनेवाले राजा अकम्पनने स्वयं ही बहुत शीघ्र उन राजाओंकी अगवानी की और प्रसन्न हुए उन राजाओं को सुलोचनाके चित्तके समान वाराणसी नगरी में प्रवेश कराया ॥ २३० ॥ जिसने बड़े प्रेमसे अपने घर आदिमें उत्सवकी ध्वजाएं बँधायी हैं और आदरको प्रकट करनेवाले हेमांगद आदि पुत्र जिसके साथ हैं ऐसे राजा अकम्पनने किरणों सहित उदय होते हुए सूर्य के समान अपने छोटे भाइयों सहित आये हुए अर्ककीर्तिकी अगवानी कर उसे महाराज भरतके समान नगरमें प्रवेश कराया ||२३१-२३२ || इसी प्रकार अपने आदरसे ही मानो उसकी आगे होनेवाली सिद्धिको सूचित करता हुआ नाथवंशका अग्रणी राजा अकम्पन जयकुमारको लेने के लिए उसके सामने गया || २३३|| तदनन्तर जिस प्रकार पूर समुद्रकी ओर जाता है उसी प्रकार तीनों (पूर्व, पश्चिम, दक्षिण ) समुद्रोंके बीच के रहनेवाले सब राजा लोग अपनी अपनी शोभा बढ़ाते हुए वाराणसी आ पहुँचे || २३४|| राजा अकम्पन कितने ही राजाओं के सामने तो अपनी सब विभूतिके साथ स्वयं आधी दूर तक गया था और कितनों ही के सामने उसने मान्य हेमांगद आदिको भेजा था || २३५ || जो राजा जिस-जिस प्रकारसे आ रहे थे उन्हें उसीउसी प्रकारसे उसने अपनी फहराती हुई पताकाओंसें जो मानो बुला ही रही हों ऐसी बनारस नगरी में प्रवेश कराया था || २३६ | | उस समय सुलोचनाने राजमहल में विराजमान तथा भूमिगोचरी और विद्याधर राजाओंसे घिरे हुए अपने पिताको चक्रवर्तीको भी जीतनेवाला बना दिया था । भावार्थ - महल में इकट्ठे हुए अनेक राजाओंसे राजा अकम्पन चक्रवर्तीके समान जान पड़ता था ।।२३७।। उस समय अयोध्याको भी जीतनेवाली वाराणसी नगरी अपने नामसे ही उसका तिरस्कार कर रही थी। क्योंकि उस स्वयंवर के समयसे ही लेकर इस संसारमें कन्यारत्नके सिवाय और कोई उत्तम रत्न नहीं है, यह बात प्रसिद्ध हुई है । भावार्थ - कदाचित् कोई कहे कि चक्रवर्तीकी राजधानी होनेसे चौदह रत्न अयोध्या में ही रहते हैं इसलिए वही उत्कृष्ट नगरी हो सकती है न कि वाराणसी भी; तो इसका उत्तर यह है कि संसार में सर्वोत्कृष्ट रत्न कन्यारत्न है जो कि उस समय वाराणसी में ही रह रहा था अतः उत्कृष्ट रत्नका निवास होनेसें वाराणसीने अयोध्याका तिरस्कार कर दिया था || २३८ ।। अतिथियोंका सत्कार

King Akampan, who was eager to celebrate, personally welcomed the kings and, pleased with them, led them into the city of Varanasi, which was as beautiful as Sulochana's heart. || 230 ||

Akampan, who had adorned his home and other places with festive flags, and whose sons, like Hemaangad, were by his side, welcomed Arkakirti, who was like the rising sun with its rays, and led him into the city, just as Bharat had done. || 231-232 ||

Akampan, the leader of the Nath dynasty, went to meet Jayakumar, as if to indicate his future success with his own affection. || 233 ||

Then, all the kings, who resided between the three oceans, arrived in Varanasi, their joy increasing, like the ocean flowing towards the full moon. || 234 ||

Akampan himself went halfway to meet some of the kings with all his wealth, and sent others, like the honorable Hemaangad, to meet the rest. || 235 ||

As each king arrived, Akampan welcomed them into the city, which was adorned with fluttering flags, as if beckoning them. || 236 ||

At that time, Sulochana, who was seated in the royal palace, surrounded by the kings of the earth and the celestial beings, made her father, the conqueror of the world, a Chakravarti. || 237 ||

Varanasi, which had conquered Ayodhya, rejected it by its very name. From that time onwards, it has been said that there is no gem more precious than a daughter. || 238 ||
