## Thirty-First Chapter
**Mālinī**
The emperor, with his vast wealth, quickly conquered the Lokapālas, followed by a multitude of kings on horseback. He entered his grand encampment, surrounded by the auspicious chants of the vanquished. || 163 ||
The wind, carrying the fragrance of lotuses, gently blew through the rows of trees on the shore, calming the emperor's weariness. It was as if the ocean, a close relative, had sent a fragrant messenger to comfort him. || 164 ||
The emperor's army encampment mirrored the ocean. Just as the ocean is filled with countless conch shells and jewels, so too was the encampment filled with treasures and gems. Just as the ocean is adorned with serpents, whose heads are adorned with shining jewels, so too was the encampment adorned with kings, whose crowns sparkled with precious stones. Just as the ocean constantly expands, so too did the emperor's army grow. And just as the ocean encompasses all directions, so too did the encampment spread in every direction. || 165 ||
The lord of treasures, who had stationed his army on the seashore and conquered the assembly of the Magadha king with his victorious weapons, rode his chariot into the ocean. He conquered the lord of the intermediate directions, the king of the Varatanu, who was like the Magadha king. With his glorious victory, he adorned the Varatanu island, which resided within the ocean, with eternal fame. || 166 ||
Bharata received from the Varatanu king an unbreakable armor, a shining necklace, a dazzling crown jewel, divine bracelets, and a sacred thread adorned with precious stones. Then, he entered the city through the gate of the glorious Vaijayanta ocean, which was worshipped with offerings of precious stones. || 167 ||
