Then, on another occasion, the divine cakra-jewel set out from the armory hall; having set out, moving through the sky, surrounded by thousands of yakṣas, filling the vault of the sky with the resonant sound of divine musical instruments, it proceeded toward the north-east direction facing Mount Cullahimavanta.
Then King Bharata saw that divine cakra-jewel proceeding toward the north-east direction facing Mount Cullahimavanta [and followed it], up to: he approached Mount Cullahimavanta. Having approached, not far from the Mount Cullahimavanta varṣadhara mountain, he established a victorious military encampment twelve yojanas long and nine yojanas wide, resembling an excellent city, up to: he undertook an eight-meal fast in honor of the god Cullahimavantagirikumāra. Exactly as [performed before] for the Māgadhakumāra, with the exception that: facing the northern direction he approached the Mount Cullahimavanta varṣadhara mountain. Having approached, he touched the Mount Cullahimavanta varṣadhara mountain three times with the tip of his chariot; having touched it, he reined in the horses; having reined them in, he halted the chariot; having halted it, he took hold of his bow, exactly as before, up to: drawing the noble arrow all the way to his ear, that lord of men spoke these words there:
"Come! Hear, gentlemen! The gods outside the arrow,
Nāgas, Asuras, and Suparṇas—to them indeed I bow and pay homage.
Come! Hear, gentlemen! The gods within the reach of the arrow,
Nāgas, Asuras, and Suparṇas—all of them are residents of my realm!"
Having said this, he discharged the arrow upwards into the air:
With his waist enveloped in a sash, adorned with fluttering silken garments,
he shone with his wondrous, excellent bow like Indra in visible form.
That vibrant, mighty bow resembling the crescent moon of the fifth day
was splendid in the left hand of the lord of men in that conquest.
Then that arrow, discharged upwards into the air by King Bharata, swiftly flew seventy-two yojanas and landed at the boundary of the god Cullahimavantagirikumāra.
Then that god Cullahimavantagirikumāra saw the arrow fallen at his boundary. Having seen it, enraged, furious, angry, wrathful, glowing with indignation, he drew a three-lined frown upon his forehead; having drawn it, he said thus: "Who is this wretched person, courting undesirable calamity, marked with wretched and disastrous signs, devoid of merit since the fourteenth day, abandoned by modesty and prosperity, who, while I possess such divine godly fortune, divine godly brilliance, acquired, attained, and accomplished through divine divine majesty, heedlessly discharges an arrow at my boundary?" Having said this, he rose from his throne; having risen, he went to where the arrow bearing the name was. Having arrived, he took hold of that arrow inscribed with the name; having taken it, he read the name. As he read the name, this thought, reflection, desire, and mental purpose arose within him:
"Indeed, a cakravartin named Bharata, ruler of the four quarters, has arisen in Bharata realm within Jambūdvīpa island! It is the customary practice of the past, present, and future Cullahimavantagirikumāra gods to present offerings of attendance to the kings. Therefore, I too will go and offer attendance to King Bharata." Having reflected thus, he took a garland of all medicinal herbs, gośīrṣa sandalwood, bracelets, armlets, garments, ornaments, the arrow marked with the name, and water from the lake. Having taken them, proceeding with that supreme, swift, nimble, rapid, quick, fleet, flying divine celestial gait, he approached King Bharata. Having approached, standing in the intermediate space, clad in five-colored splendid garments with tinkling bells, placing his folded hands with all ten fingernails joined upon his crown, he greeted King Bharata with wishes of victory and triumph; having greeted him, he spoke thus:
"Sire, Beloved of the gods, the entire Bharata realm as far north as the boundary of Mount Cullahimavanta has been conquered by you! I am a resident of your realm, Beloved of the gods; I am an attendant carrying out your commands, Beloved of the gods; I am your northern border guardian, Beloved of the gods! Therefore, may the Beloved of the gods accept this gift of affection from me!" Saying this, he presented the garland of all medicinal herbs, gośīrṣa sandalwood, bracelets, armlets, garments, ornaments, the arrow inscribed with the name, and the water from the lake.
Then King Bharata accepted this gift of affection from the god Cullahimavantagirikumāra; having accepted it, he honored and revered the god Cullahimavantagirikumāra; having honored and revered him, he sent him away.
