Then King Bharaha touched the jewel-gem. It was four aṅgulas in measure, priceless, triangular, six-sided [below], of incomparable splendor, divine, matching the lord of jewel-gems, lapis lazuli, pleasing to all beings.
[Verse:]
And when placed upon the head, no pain arises, and there is good health at all times. / Afflictions caused by animals, gods, or men do not bring pain to him at all. / Even in battle, a man wearing that excellent jewel cannot be slain by weapons. / His youth remains steadfast, his hair and nails fixed, and he becomes free from all fear.
Taking that jewel-gem, the lord of men placed it upon the right frontal globe of the elephant-gem.
Then the sovereign ruler of Bharaha, a king of men—his chest covered with necklaces, charmingly adorned; his face illuminated by earrings; his head resplendent with a diadem; a lion among men, a lord of men, a ruler of men, a bull among men; resembling a magnificent bull among the Marut kings; blazing with superior royal majesty and glory; praised by hundreds of auspicious verses; saluted with shouts of victory; mounted upon the excellent neck of his elephant; under an umbrella adorned with wreaths of koraṇṭa flowers being held; fanned by white, excellent cāmaras; surrounded by thousands of yakṣas; possessing splendor like that of Vaiśramaṇa, the lord of wealth, or the lord of immortals; celebrated in renown; with illumination made by the jewel-gem; his path indicated by the wheel-gem; followed by a path of many thousands of excellent kings; making a sound like the roar of the agitated great ocean through the mighty clamor, lion-roars, and tumult of words—went to where the southern entrance of the Timisa cave was. Having gone there, he entered through the southern entrance like the moon entering a mass of cloud-darkness.
Then King Bharaha touched the kāgaṇī-gem, which had six surfaces, twelve edges, eight corners, the shape of an anvil, and weighed eight suvarṇas.
Then that [kāgaṇī-gem]—four aṅgulas in measure, weighing eight suvarṇas, an antidote to poison, unequalled, situated in a symmetrical square configuration, level-surfaced, having proper standard measures and weights from which all people who instruct proceed in the world—neither the moon nor the sun there, nor fire, nor jewels could dispel the dark blindness, where its divine rays, dispelling masses of darkness, expanded for twelve yojanas; and by whose power it always made light like daytime in the military camp during the night; so that the cakravartin, accompanied by his army, to conquer the second half of Bharaha, entered the Timisa cave. The excellent king took the kāgaṇī and, drawing, at intervals of a yojana on the eastern and western walls of the Timisa cave, forty-nine circles measuring five hundred dhanus in length and breadth, illuminating for a yojana, shaped like the rim of a wheel, and resembling the lunar disc, proceeded inside.
Then, as those forty-nine circles, spaced a yojana apart, measuring five hundred dhanus in length and breadth, and illuminating for a yojana, were drawn by King Bharaha, that Timisa cave quickly became full of light, illuminated, and just like daytime.
