78. [1] After conquering Aapat Kirat, one day that Chakra Ratna came out from the ordinance store and stationed itself in the space without any external support. Then it started moving towards the small Himavan mountain in the north-east direction. Then kịng Bharat followed that divine Chakra Ratna. He set up his military camp in an area of twelve yojan by nine yojan at a distance from Laghu-Himavan mountain which was neither very far nor very near from it. The camp looked like a great town. Thereafter, king Bharat undertook austerities for three continuous days in order to subdue Himavan Girikumar deva. (Further description is similar to that of Magadh Tirth.) King Bharat (with his armed force) went ahead towards the north amidst a roaring sound in the environment similar to that of dreadful sea, following the Chakra Ratna. He came to the place where Chull-Himavan mountain was located. He touched the front side of his chariot three times with Chull-Himavan Varshadhar mountain. Controlling the quickly running horses, he stopped the chariot. He touched the bow (that bow was shining like the moon of the second day of bright fortnight and like a rainbow). It was capable of bringing an end to his enemies. Its string was vibrant. The king picked up that bow and fixed an arrow on it. Both the sides of the arrow were made of diamonds. Its front tip was unpierceable like a Vajra. Its tail was decorated with Chandrakant and other suchlike precious stones and jewels studded in gold. The name of king Bharat was engraved on it in a beautiful manner with many precious stones and jewels. The king pulled that unique arrow up to his ear and said (O the Nagkumar, Asurakumar, Suparnkumar and other such like demi-gods who are controlling the inner and outer part of this arrow which I am using, I bow to you. Please listen. All these are the natives of my country. In other words they are my people. Saying so king Bharat released the arrow upwards in the sky. When a wrestler enters a wresting ground for about, he keeps his waist lightly bound. Similarly king Bharat also had tied his waist with the proper cloth as meant for battle field. That arrow was released by king Bharat upwards in open sky. Soon it travelled a distance of seventy two yojans and then fell in the area of Himavan Girikumar Dev at a proper place.
