The twenty-eighth festival is celebrated by the Dharma Nayakas, who are free from all bonds. You, having become victorious in Dharma, will achieve complete victory by their grace. ||61||
The gods residing in the ocean are within your sphere of enjoyment. This is your time to conquer them, the herald proclaimed loudly. ||62||
Then, accompanied by a few heroes, the Chakravarti Bharat ascended the altar of Ganga-dwar. ||63||
The Chakravarti did not consider that altar of Ganga-dwar merely as an entrance to the ocean, but also as the gateway to the fulfillment of his task. ||64||
The ascent of the Chakravarti, adorned with auspicious attire, onto that altar shone like the ascent of the victorious Lakshmi onto the altar of her marriage. ||65||
Considering that altar as the altar of his own courtyard, Bharat cast his gaze upon the ocean with the wisdom of an artificial river. Meaning: Due to his overwhelming strength, Bharat considered the altar of Ganga as if it were the altar of his own courtyard, and the vast ocean as if it were a small canal. ||66||
He ascended that great, long altar as if he were ascending upon his own vow, and he considered the ocean as if he had already reached its other shore. ||67||
From that altar, he saw the ocean, where waves were constantly rising, crossing the shores, being whipped by the wind, and with their deep sounds, it seemed as if they were crying out in fear of being crossed. With their arms of waves, they were releasing small particles of water containing jewels, which seemed as if they were offering an arghya to Bharat, mixed with pearls and akshatas. That ocean had countless conch shells, it had conquered all the islands, it was boundless, no one could cross it, and no one could disturb it, therefore it was mimicking the group of Bharat's army, because it also had countless conch shells to be blown, it had also conquered all the islands - brought them under its control, it was also boundless, it was also uncrossable and undisturbed by others. That ocean was like someone suffering from epilepsy (epilepsy)
