3.22

「時，大典尊即尋分之，王所治城，村邑郡國，皆悉部分，六剎利國亦與分部。王自慶言：『我願已果！』時，六剎利復自慶幸：『我願已果，得成此業，大典尊力也。』六剎利王復自思念：『吾國初建，當須宰輔，誰能堪任？如大典尊，即當使之，通領國事。』爾時，六剎利王即命典尊，而告之曰：『吾國須相，卿當為吾通領國事。』於是，六國各授相印。

“‘Great Govinda then quickly divided the continent. The king ruled from a province containing the capital city, and the remainder was divided into provinces and given to the six warriors.

“‘The king was delighted and said, “It’s exactly as I wanted!”

“‘The six warriors were also delighted. “It’s exactly as we wanted, achieved by the ability of Great Govinda!”

“‘The six warriors and the king also each thought to themselves, “Now that my kingdom is established, I need a prime minister, but who would be qualified? Someone like Great Govinda! I will employ him to manage the kingdom’s affairs.”

“‘The six warrior kings then summoned Govinda and told him, “My kingdom needs a prime minister. You shall manage its affairs for me.” The six kingdoms then each were given the prime minister’s seal.
