The king cheered by gentle winds, rendered odorous by contact with the juice of rutting elephants; pleased with the music of the drum and conch-shell; bright as the rising summer-sun from the numerous sparkling gems of his crown; resembling mount Meru with its swans moving hither and thither and carrying with them the fragrant breeze. The king, adorned with his crown, ear-rings and armlets bedecked with gems and diamonds of myriad hues, would resemble Indras Bow (rainbow) in lustre, being irradiated with the rays of innumerable gems. The king would be attended by horses that appear to soar aloft in the sky, by elephants that with their tread seem to cleave the earth and by soldiers resembling a host of the Devas after successful battle, and then himself, like Indra, shall march on horseback for purposes of conquest.
