advised him on state policy everyday. Preceptors, gods, saints, manes and Bråhmaƒasó
the king invariably served them all. Whatever duties have been enjoined on a king in the
Vedas, he gladly and devoutly performed. He bestowed gifts of various kinds everyday
and listened to the best scriptures including the Vedas and the Puråƒas. In all holy places
he constructed many small and big wells and tanks, flower gardens and lovely orchards,
dwellings for the Bråhmaƒas and beautiful temples of wonderful architecture. (1ó4)

Whatever sacrifices have been enjoined in the Vedas and the Puråƒas, the king
devoutly performed each one of them a thousand times. (155)

There was no seeking for any reward in his heart; the king was a man of great
intelligence and wisdom. Whatever meritorious act he performed in thought, word or
deed, the wise king dedicated it to Lord Våsudeva (the all-pervading God Viƒu).
Equipping himself with all the outfit of hunting, the king mounted a gallant steed one day
and, entering the dense forest of the Vindhya range, killed many a sacred deer. While
ranging in the wood he espied a wild boar. It looked as if with the moon in his mouth the
demon Råhu had hid in the forest. The orb was too large to be contained in the mouth,
yet in his rage he would not disgorge it. Thus have I chosen to portray the beauty of the
frightful tusks of the boar, while its body too was of an enormous size and bulk. Growling
at the tramp of the horse and pricking up its ears it gazed with a startled look. (1ó4)
