Then, on a certain occasion, the divine cakra-jewel appeared in the armoury of that King Bharaha.
Then the armoury-keeper saw that the divine cakra-jewel had appeared in King Bharaha's armoury. Having seen it, rejoiced, gratified, his mind gladdened, joyful, delighted, exceedingly pleased, his heart welling up with excess of joy, he approached where the divine cakra-jewel was. Having approached, he made three circumambulations from left to right, placed his cupped hands respectfully upon his head, and bowed down to the cakra-jewel. Having done so, he departed from the armoury. Having departed, he approached where the outer audience hall was, where King Bharaha was. Having approached, he joined his hands together and placed them cupped upon his head, greeted him wishing him triumph and victory, and said thus:
“Thus indeed, O Beloved of the Gods, the divine cakra-jewel has appeared in the armoury of the Beloved of the Gods. Therefore, for the pleasure of the Beloved of the Gods, we report this pleasant news; may it be pleasing to you!”
Then King Bharaha, having heard and understood this matter from the armoury-keeper, was rejoiced, gratified, his mind gladdened, joyful, delighted, exceedingly pleased, his heart welling up with excess of joy, his face and eyes blossoming like exquisite lotuses. His choice armlets, bracelets, and keyūra armbands shook; his diadem, earrings, and the necklace shining across his chest stirred; wearing flowing, swaying ornaments, the king quickly, swiftly, and eagerly arose in excitement from his lion-throne. Having arisen, he stepped down from the footstool. Having stepped down, he took off his shoes. Having taken them off, he arranged his upper garment across one shoulder. Having done so, with hands folded in supplication, he advanced seven or eight steps facing the cakra-jewel. Having advanced, he raised his left knee, placed his right knee upon the surface of the earth, put his folded hands to his forehead, and bowed to the cakra-jewel. Having done so, he bestowed upon that armoury-keeper all his worn ornaments except the diadem. Having bestowed them, he gave a lavish gift of love worthy of a lifelong livelihood. Having given it, he honoured and revered him, dismissed him, and sat facing east upon the choice lion-throne.
Then King Bharaha summoned his household retainers and spoke thus: “Quickly, O Beloved of the Gods! Make ready and cause to be made ready the capital city Vinīyā, inside and outside: sprinkled, swept, cleaned, purified, with its lanes and streets cleared; furnished with raised platforms upon platforms; decorated with hoisted banners and flags of various dyed fabrics; smeared and whitewashed with plaster; imprinted with five-finger marks using moist red gośīrṣa sandalwood; set with decorative pitchers of welcome; adorned with well-crafted festive arches at every doorway; hung with vast, round garlands of flowers suspended high and low; arranged with offerings of heaps of fresh, fragrant, five-coloured blossoms; made delightfully fragrant with billowing clouds of scent from black agallochum, choice olibanum, and incense; exceedingly sweet-scented and turned into a repository of fragrance. Having done and caused this to be done, report back that this command has been fulfilled.”
Then those household retainers, having been thus addressed by King Bharaha, rejoiced, gratified, their minds gladdened, joyful, delighted, exceedingly pleased, their hearts welling up with excess of joy, placed their folded hands upon their heads, respectfully accepted his word with obedience saying, “So be it, Sire!”, and departed from King Bharaha's presence. Having departed, they made and caused the capital city Vinīyā to be made [as instructed], and reported back that his command had been fulfilled.
Then King Bharaha went to where the bath-house was. Having gone, he entered the bath-house. Having entered, he sat down comfortably on a bathing stool adorned with inlaid designs of diverse gems and jewels, inside a charming bath pavilion whose floor was inlaid with diverse jewels and gems and delightfully draped with pearl nets. He bathed with pleasant water, fragrant water, flower-scented water, and pure water in an auspicious, supreme bathing rite. Having performed hundreds of various festivities there, at the end of that auspicious, supreme bath, his body was dried with a delicate, fragrant, soft astringent cloth. His limbs were anointed with fresh, fragrant gośīrṣa sandalwood. He clad himself in uncut, highly valuable, choice silken garments. He wore a clean garland, cosmetics, and ointment, put on jewels and gold ornaments, adorned his waist handsomely with a choice long and short necklace, a triple-stringed necklace, and a pendant belt, wore necklets and rings, and was adorned with charming limb-ornaments. His arms were steady with bracelets and armlets set with varied gems; his splendour was exceedingly great; his face was illuminated by earrings; his head shone with a diadem; his chest was beautifully adorned and covered with necklaces; he wore an upper garment flowing down gracefully; his fingers were yellowed by the luster of seal-rings; and he put on auspicious, heroic arm-rings that were stainless, highly precious, crafted skillfully with varied gems and gold, gleaming, well-fitted, distinguished, handsome, and firm...
...what more to say? Like an adorned, decorated wishing-tree, the king, sheltered beneath an umbrella accompanied by garlands of koraṇṭa flowers, fanned with four chowries of yak hair, acclaimed with auspicious shouts of victory, surrounded by many commanders of groups, commanders of armies, kings, chieftains, district governors, household masters, ministers, chief ministers, accountants, doorkeepers, counsellors, attendants, jesters, urban magistrates, guild leaders, generals, caravan leaders, envoys, and border-guards, looking like the moon emerging from a white great cloud in the midst of shining planets, asterisms, and clusters of stars, lovely to behold, went forth from the bath-house holding incense, flowers, perfume, and garlands in his hands. Having gone forth, he set out to go to where the armoury was, where the cakra-jewel was.
Then behind King Bharaha followed many chieftains, talavaras, district governors, household masters, wealthy merchants, guild chiefs, generals, caravan leaders, and others—some carrying lotuses in their hands, some carrying blue water-lilies in their hands, some carrying night-blooming water-lilies in their hands, some carrying nalina lotuses in their hands, some carrying saugandhika lilies in their hands, some carrying puṇḍarīka white lotuses in their hands, some carrying mahāpuṇḍarīka lotuses in their hands, some carrying hundred-petaled lotuses in their hands, and some carrying thousand-petaled lotuses in their hands.
Then for that King Bharaha, many—
