The Twenty-Eighth Chapter

Very deep, like a king, with many enjoyers on its shore. Like a great king, it is high, with boundaries. (11) It protects many inner islands, like a fortress, impregnable. (12) Filled with roaring, deep, sky-reaching waves, like a servant, it is filled with water. (13) With colored, moving, turbulent, and changing waves, like a possessed man, it is noisy and whirling. (14) Its bottom is painted with rays of light, its water is adorned with pearls, and it is full of crocodiles, making it both beautiful and frightening. (15)

The river, rich in jewels, is ancient and long-lived. The ocean, like a king, is vast and eternal. (16)

The ocean was not satisfied, just as a wicked king is surrounded by water (inert) i.e. foolish people, so too was the ocean constantly surrounded by water (water). And just as a wicked king scorns the guru (venerable sage), so too did the ocean scorn the guru (heavy objects) i.e. it drowned them. Or, the ocean seemed like a good king, because just as a good king is endowed with sattva (strength), so too was the ocean endowed with sattva (aquatic creatures). Just as a good king is very deep, so too was the ocean very deep. Just as many enjoyers (kings) are present near a good king, so too were many enjoyers (snakes) present on the shore of the ocean. Just as a good king's position is high, so too was the ocean's position high, i.e. its water was rising above the air. And just as a good king is endowed with maryada (appropriate conduct) that comes from his lineage, so too was the ocean endowed with maryada (boundaries). The ocean was protecting the many inner islands that resided within it. These inner islands seemed like impregnable and unstealable fortresses. The extremely deep ocean seemed as if it were filled with water by constantly rising, roaring, and sky-reaching clouds, like servants. Or, the ocean seemed like a possessed man, because just as a possessed man crawls, walks, is agitated, jumps high, and turns around, so too was the ocean crawling, walking, agitated, jumping high, and turning around, i.e. sometimes it was waving this way, sometimes that way. And just as a possessed man is endowed with ujjrumbha (rising yawns), so too was the ocean endowed with ujjrumbha (rising waves). Just as a possessed man makes sounds, so too was the ocean making sounds. And just as a possessed man trembles, so too was the ocean trembling from the wind. The bottom of the ocean was painted with the rays of jewels, its water was adorned with pearls, and it was full of crocodiles, making it both beautiful and frightening.
