Adipurana "He pleased the submissive ones and greatly angered the opponents. Peace and prowess are the two qualities fit for a king who wants to conquer the earth. ||36|| Bharata, with a pleased gaze, showed his pleasure to the submissive ones and with a furrowed brow, showed his anger to the enemy. Thus, it is true that kings are like actors. ||37|| He was very pleased with the kings of Anga, who offered him precious gems, the kings of Vanga, who offered him tall elephants, and the kings of Kalinga, who offered him both gems and elephants. ||38|| The kings of Magadha, desiring his favor, praised his excellent qualities, so they seemed like prisoners. ||39|| The commander of Bharata's army, without any effort, brought under his control the kings of Kuru, Avanti, Panchala, Kashi, Kosala, and Vidarbha. ||40|| Going from country to country, the commander proclaimed Bharata's orders in Madra, Kachchha, Chedi, Vatsa, Suhma, Pund, Aud, and Gauda. ||41|| He quickly brought under his control the kings of Dasharna, Kamarupa, Kashmir, Ushinar, and the entire middle country. ||42|| The kings of the eastern countries, Kalinga, and Anga, offered Bharata elephants as gifts, elephants as tall as mountains, with streams of mad flowing from their trunks. ||43|| The lords of the forests, where elephants are born, offered him elephants born in the Dasharna forest, and elephants born in Chedi and Kakusha, who could compete with the celestial elephants. ||44|| At that time, Bharata was receiving countless gems as gifts from all over the earth. It seemed as if the earth, like a pregnant woman, could not bear the unbearable burden of the chakravarti's army and had given birth to countless gems. ||45||
