The Forty-Fourth Chapter
365 chariots, as before, filled with all kinds of weapons, with great horses yoked to them, and with banners waving like dancing arms, spread out in all directions. ||98|| Even the women, being skilled in battle, acted like warriors, so the infantry of Jayakumar was more numerous than that of other kings. ||99|| The sound of the drums was increasing, as if multiplying the excellence of the dance of the victorious Lakshmi, which was about to take place on the battlefield. ||100||
Then, mounted on the elephant Vijayardha, who was born in the forest, whose body was beautiful due to his age, education, and good qualities, who had a good disposition, a handsome body, was lustful, and whose pride was overflowing, who had seen many battles, who was adorned with elephant-shaped banners, and who resembled the other Vijayardha mountain, Jayakumar, along with all his army and younger brothers, departed, overcoming the play of the end of the age. ||101-103||
Meanwhile, the great king Akampan, who made his enemies tremble but remained unshakable himself, said to his daughter Sulochana, "Stay here with your mother and perform the peace-offering with reverence," and then took her to the excellent temple called Nityamanohar. He himself, along with his sons, departed, shaking the earth with the weight of his entire army. ||104-105||
Sukethu, Suryamitra, Shridhara, Jayavarman, and Devakirti, all these kings, along with their armies, joined Jayakumar. ||106||
Among the crowned kings, those whose fame was widely known, such as the aforementioned Sukethu and the other five kings, as well as other brave warriors who were dependent on the Nath and Soma dynasties, all joined Jayakumar. ||107||
Manghaprabha, whose sharp sword's brilliance filled the sky, and who was skilled in knowledge, went forth with the Vidyadharas. ||108||
