## Forty-Seventh Chapter
## Hastened and Delayed
Seeing his own face in a bright mirror, he [Bharata] noticed his white hair, like a messenger arriving from the abode of supreme bliss. || 392 ||
Seeing him, those whose hearts were filled with the allure of worldly pleasures, whose minds were filled with the dust of old age, who were eager to attain self-benefit, and whose desire for renunciation was strong and ever-growing, those Bharatas, considering their kingdom like withered grass, bestowed their son, Arka Kirti, with their wealth, their Lakshmi. || 393 ||
Knowing the true nature of all things, and desiring to tread the path of liberation, inaccessible to the lowly, the Chakravarti Bharata embraced the effortless **Yama** and **Samiti**, like a nourishing meal. This is fitting, for those who understand the true nature of things do not seek anything other than **Samyama**. || 364 ||
At that very moment, he attained **Manas-Paryaya Jnana** and then **Kevala Jnana** manifested. His magnificence was revealed at that very moment. This is fitting, for the attainment of liberation for beings is indeed extraordinary. || 365 ||
Bharata, who was previously worshipped by the kings born in his own land, is now also worshipped by the Indras. Not only that, he became the lord of the three worlds. This is fitting, for what is impossible for one who is capable of undertaking difficult austerities? || 366 ||
