Chapter 6:
Lord Rishabhadeva's Activities
(15) 'What other
yogi can be found who, but in the mind, is able to follow the example
of Him, the unborn One, and who,
as being insubstantial, renounced all desires for the perfections of
yoga which by mystic yogis, so eager to serve, are aspired.'
Chapter 7: The
Activities of King Bharata
(7) Thus in the purest of
service was he of the purest of goodness unto the Supersoul within the
heart of the body, unto the impersonal spirit of Brahman and unto
Bhagavân, the Supreme Lord, Vâsudeva, the Supreme Person
whose form is recognized by the S'rîvatsa mark on the chest, the
Kaustubha gem, the flowergarland, the disc, the conchshell, the club
and other symbols. On the highest level known by His shining personal
form is He, once having appeared as an indelible image in the heart of
the devotee, as powerful as to increase the devotion day after day.
Chapter 8:
The Rebirth of King Bharata
(20) Would that princely
deer of mine really return and please me who gave up on the pious
exercise;
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) Infuriated in utter intolerance she
displayed her features of raised eyebrows, crooked teeth, bloodshot
eyes, an agitated fearful face as if she wanted to destroy the whole
universe and a frightening laugh. Of the great anger released, severed
she, coming forth from the altar, with the same blade as they wanted to
use, the heads from the bodies of all the sinful offenders and drank
she together with her associates, the blood oozing from the necks as a
very hot intoxicating beverage. Overwhelmed by all the intoxicating
drinking played she, with her following loudly singing and dancing,
then ball, using the heads for a sport.
Chapter 10: Jada
Bharata meets Mahârâja Rahûgana
(2) When doing this was
the twice-born son, constantly looking three feet ahead [not to step on
ants], all the time out of pace with the others and was thus the
palanquin shaking. Rahûgana, realizing this then said to the men
carrying: 'Oh carriers, please walk in pace! For what reason is this
palanquin carried so uneven?'
