Then at another time, King Bharaha summoned general Suseṇa, and having summoned him, spoke thus: “Go at once, O beloved of the gods! Open the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave, and having opened them, return [fulfilled with] this order of mine.”
Then general Suseṇa, having been addressed thus by King Bharaha, joyful, pleased, gladdened in mind, delighted, with affectionate heart, exceedingly cheerful, his heart expanding with the sway of joy, folded his palms together, raised them to his head, and touching his forehead in respectful greeting, obediently and politely assented to the command, saying: “Yes, Master! So be it!” Having assented, he departed from the presence of King Bharaha. Having departed, he went to his own quarters, to the pauṣadha hall. Having gone there, he spread out a litter of darbha grass. Having spread it out, he mounted the litter of darbha grass, and undertook a three-day fast in honour of the god Kayamāla. Observing the pauṣadha vow in the pauṣadha hall, celibate, casting off gems and gold, freed from garlands, unguents, and cosmetics, setting aside weapons and clubs, resting upon the litter of darbha grass, alone without a second, he dwelled vigilantly observing the three-day fast.
Then, as the three-day fast was coming to completion, general Suseṇa came out of the pauṣadha hall. Having come out, he went to the bathhouse. Having gone there, he bathed, performed oblations, made protective and auspicious ceremonies and expiations, put on excellent, clean, festive garments fit for auspicious entries, adorned his body with modest yet precious ornaments, and with incense, flowers, perfumes, and garlands in hand, came out of the bathhouse. Having come out, he set forth to go to the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave.
Then many subordinate kings, talavaras, māḍambikas, family elders, wealthy men, merchants, generals, caravan leaders, and others followed behind general Suseṇa, some holding water lilies in their hands, up to some holding thousand-petalled lotuses in their hands.
Then many humpbacked and Kirāta women, knowing every gesture, thought, and wish, skilled, clever, and well-trained, followed behind general Suseṇa, some holding auspicious pitchers in their hands.
Then general Suseṇa, with all his splendour and all his brilliance, amid the sounds of musical instruments, approached the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave. Having arrived, he bowed on sight. Having bowed, he took hold of a whisk of hair, and with the whisk of hair he swept clean the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave. Having swept them clean, he sprinkled them with a celestial stream of water. Having sprinkled them, he applied five-finger prints with moist gośīrṣa sandalwood. Having applied them, he worshipped them with foremost, excellent perfumes and garlands. Having worshipped them, he performed the offering of flowers, garlands, perfumes, colour powders, and cloth. Having done so, he hung up broad, rounded, suspended garlands, arranged an offering of heaps of moist, fragrant flowers of five colours, made the place fragrant with black agallochum, foremost kundurukka, and Turkish incense wafting thick sweet smoke, lovely and endowed with the finest fragrance, turning it into a mass of sweet scent. Having done so, he drew the eight auspicious symbols in front of the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave with pure, polished, white, silvery, flawless rice grains [namely: svastika, śrīvatsa, nandyāvarta, vardhamānaka, bhadrāsana, pair of fish, pitcher, and mirror]…
…Having drawn them, he performed the ritual offerings—with what? With trumpet-flower, jasmine, campaka, aśoka, puṇnāga, mango blossoms, navamālikā, bakula, tilaka, oleander, kunda, kojjaya, koraṇṭaka leaves, and damanaka, of supreme, delicate fragrance; gathering handfuls and releasing them from his open hands, he made a variegated pile of five-coloured flowers as high as a person’s knee. Then, taking a censer made of lapis lazuli, with a pure staff made of moonstone, diamond, and lapis lazuli, variegated with designs of gold and jewels, giving forth rolls of smoke permeated with the supreme scent of black agallochum, foremost kundurukka, and Turkish incense, he devoutly offered incense. Having offered incense, he bent his left knee, folded his palms together, raised them to his head, touched his forehead in respectful greeting, and bowed to the door-leaves. Having bowed, he grasped the rod-jewel. That rod-jewel, five-sided, made of diamond-essence, destroyer of all enemy forces, leveler of pits, ravines, rugged spots, slopes, and great mountain chasms in the encampments of the king, bringer of peace, auspiciousness, and welfare, fulfiller of the king’s heartfelt desires, celestial and unhindered—taking that rod-jewel, he stepped back seven or eight paces. Having stepped back, he struck the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave three times with great resounding force using the rod-jewel.
Then the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave, having been struck three times with great resounding force by general Suseṇa with the rod-jewel, producing a loud cry like a curlew with a great roar, slid back with a rustling sound into their respective recesses.
Then general Suseṇa opened the door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave. Having opened them, he went to King Bharaha. Having arrived, he folded his palms together, raised them to his head, touched his forehead in respectful greeting, congratulated King Bharaha with cries of “Victory!” and “Triumph!”, and said: “O beloved of the gods! The door-leaves of the southern entrance of the Timisa cave have been opened. We announce this pleasing news to the beloved of the gods; may it be pleasing to you!”
Then King Bharaha, hearing and comprehending this matter from general Suseṇa, joyful, pleased, gladdened in mind, delighted, with affectionate heart, exceedingly cheerful, his heart expanding with the sway of joy, honoured and showed respect to general Suseṇa. Having honoured and shown respect to him, he summoned his family servants, and having summoned them, spoke thus: “Go at once, O beloved of the gods! Prepare the consecrated elephant-jewel, equip the fourfold army consisting of horses, elephants, chariots, and excellent warriors!”—and likewise up to: the king mounted the excellent elephant that resembled the peak of Mount Añjana.
