Then King Bharaha, upon the conclusion of the eight-day great festival for the god Kayamāla, summoned his general Suseṇa and spoke thus to him: ‘Go, O beloved of the gods! Subdue the western division along the great river Siṃdhū, bounded by the Siṃdhū, the ocean, and the mountains, together with its even and uneven divisions; having subdued them, accept superior, excellent jewels, and having accepted them, deliver this command back to me.’
Then that general, leader of the army, renowned in fame throughout the realm of Bharaha, of great might and prowess, noble-minded, vigorous, radiant, endowed with auspicious marks, skilled in the barbarian languages, speaking charming and elegant words, knowing the divisions, depressions, rugged terrain, and difficult approaches within the realm of Bharaha, skilled in statecraft, the general-jewel Suseṇa, when spoken to thus by King Bharaha, became elated, delighted, his heart rejoiced, glad, happy-minded, exceedingly cheerful, his heart expanding with joy; joining his palms, placing his ten fingernails touching his head in a cupped gesture of reverence, he humbly consented to the word of command with ‘Yes, Lord, so be it!’ Having accepted, he departed from the presence of King Bharaha, went to his own residence, summoned his household servants, and said thus:
‘Quickly, O beloved of the gods, prepare the state elephant-jewel! Equip the fourfold army consisting of horses, elephants, chariots, and excellent warriors.’ Having spoken thus, he went to the bath-chamber, entered it, bathed, offered oblations, performed auspicious protective rituals and expiations, put on and tied his coat of mail, strapped on his bow-belt, fastened his necklace, put on his flawless insignia-band, took up weapons and missiles, and surrounded by many leaders of gaṇas, commanders, kings, talavaras, lords of māḍambas, household heads, ministers, prime ministers, accountants, doorkeepers, councillors, attendants, companions, townsmen, merchants, guild-heads, army officers, caravan-leaders, envoys, and border-guards, with an umbrella draped with koraṇṭa garlands held over him, accompanied by auspicious shouts of victory, he departed from the bath-chamber, went to the outer assembly hall, proceeded to the state elephant-jewel, and mounted it.
Then General Suseṇa, riding upon the neck of the excellent elephant, with an umbrella draped with koraṇṭa garlands held over him, accompanied by the fourfold army of horses, elephants, chariots, and prime warriors, surrounded by a large host of soldiers and retainers, making as it were the roar of a churning great ocean with loud lion-roars, shouts, and tumultuous clamour, with all splendour, all radiance, all force, all assembly, all pomp, all ornaments, all magnificence, adorned with all cloths, flowers, scents, garlands, and ornaments, with the sounding of all musical instruments, with great glory, up to the loud harmonious blended music of conches, paṇavas, paḍahas, bherīs, jhallarīs, kharamukhīs, muravas, mṛdaṅgas, and dundubhis resounding, went to the great river Siṃdhū; having arrived, he touched the skin-jewel.
Then that divine skin-jewel, bearing the form of a śrīvatsa, adorned with patterns of pearls, stars, and crescent moons, unmoving, unshakable, like impenetrable armour, a device for crossing waters and oceans, upon which all seventeen kinds of grain sprout within a single day if sown—that divine skin-jewel, touched by the cakravartin, expands to somewhat more than twelve yojanas across.
Then that divine skin-jewel, being touched by General Suseṇa, immediately became like a boat.
Then General Suseṇa, together with his camp, army, and mounts, boarded the skin-jewel turned boat, and with the skin-jewel as a boat crossed the great river Siṃdhū, filled with clear water and towering waves, along with his army, mounts, and banner of authority. Having crossed the great river Siṃdhū, that general of unimpeded command subdued the villages, mines, cities, mountains, kheḍas, maḍambas, and ports everywhere, Siṃhala, Barbara, the whole land of Aṅga, Balāva, the extremely charming Yavanadvīpa rich in treasuries of jewels, gems, and gold, the people of Arabia, Rome, and Alexandria, the Pikkhuras, Kālamukhas, and Jonakas, and the manifold barbarian tribes dwelling in the northern Veyaddha foothills, down to the southwest as far as the ocean of the Siṃdhū, and having subdued the entire excellent coastal realm of Kaccha, he returned and settled comfortably on a very even and delightful stretch of ground in that Kaccha region.
Then the rulers and lords of those realms, cities, and ports, the masters of mines, heads of districts, and rulers of ports, bringing gifts of ornaments, adornments, jewels, costly garments, and whatever else was most excellent, fit for a king, and desirable, presented them to the general with hands cupped above their heads. Bowing once more with cupped hands to their heads, they said, ‘You are our lord; like a deity, we have taken refuge in you, being your subjects,’ proclaiming victory. The general confirmed them in their positions as appropriate, honoured them, and dismissed them, and they returned to their own cities and ports. Then the general, full of humility, taking the gifts, ornaments, decorations, and jewels, with his authority and army unimpaired, once again crossed the Siṃdhū river, reported back to King Bharaha, and surrendered the gifts. Honoured and revered, he was dismissed with joy and retired to his own tent-pavilion.
Then General Suseṇa, having bathed, made oblations, performed auspicious rites and expiations, eaten his meal, rinsed his mouth, cleansed and purified, his body smeared with fresh gośīrṣa sandalwood, went up to the upper terrace of his excellent palace; there, being danced before, sung to, and entertained by thirty-two kinds of dramatic performances presented by excellent young maidens accompanied by the beating of mṛdaṅga drums, amid the sounds of striking, dancing, singing, and playing on strings, palms, cymbals, bells, and resonant mṛdaṅgas, he dwelt enjoying the fivefold human pleasures of love, pleasing to the senses of sound, touch, taste, form, and smell.
