Bāṇa calls him: "king of kings, sovereign of all continents,"\[⁵\] and "Śrī-Harṣa, the king of kings, the lord of the four oceans, whose toe-nails are burnished by the crest gems of all other monarchs, the leader of all emperors."\[1\] Far from urging that these pompous expressions argue Harṣa's paramount status, we might say that these high-sounding titles were sometimes conventional among the courtly panegyrists, and were used in a very loose way. - [Previous: c11.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.23) - [Next: c11.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.25) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c11.24) · Pramāṇa
