Chapter 6:
Lord Rishabhadeva's Activities
(15) 'Is there any other yogi
of
perseverance and determination who, desiring the perfections that for
being insubstantial were
rejected by Rishabha, can follow but even in
his mind the example of this unborn Godhead?'
Chapter
7: The
Activities
of King Bharata
(7) He
[Bharata] in the perfection of his service was thus of the purest
goodness
unto the Supersoul within the heart of the ethereal body, unto the
impersonal spirit of Brahman and unto Bhagavân, the Supreme Lord,
Vâsudeva, the Supreme Personality whose form is recognized by the
S'rîvatsa mark on the chest, the Kaustubha gem, the
flower garland, the disc, the conch shell, the club and other symbols. Once He as an indelible image has appeared in
the heart of the devotee, He, who
on the highest level is known by His radiating personal form, has the
power to increase one's devotion
day after day.
Chapter 8:
The Rebirth of King Bharata
(20) Will
that
princely
deer
of
mine
really
return
and please me, who gave
up his different pious exercises? It was so cute to behold. Pleasing it
in a
way befitting its kind drove away all unhappiness!
Chapter 9:
The
Supreme Character of Jada Bharata
(18) Full
of
indignation
she
totally
lost
herself
in
the
force of her anger
with raised eyebrows, crooked teeth, bloodshot eyes, a frightening
laugh and an agitated fearful
face, as if she wanted to destroy the entire universe. Released [from
the idol] because
of her great fury she, coming forth from the
altar, severed with the same blade as they wanted to use
[for the
sacrifice], the heads
from the bodies of all the sinful offenders and then, together with her
associates, drank from the blood that oozed from the necks as a
very hot
intoxicating beverage. Overwhelmed by all that intoxicating drinking
she with her associates next loudly sang and danced, making fun
throwing
the heads at each other like they were balls.
Chapter 10: Jada
Bharata
meets
Mahârâja
Rahûgana
(2) Engaged
this
way
the
blessed
brahmin
constantly
looked
three
feet
ahead
[not
to
step
on
ants].
Thus
being
all the time out of pace with the others the
palanquin was shaking. Rahûgana noticing this then said to the
men who carried him: 'Oh carriers, please walk in pace! Why is this
palanquin carried so uneven?'
