7. The threshold of his palace was ever thronged
with elephants, and also kings waiting for audience.
The former made it muddy with their flowing ichor,
while the latter made it dry with gem-dusts falling
down from ornaments broken as a result of jostling.

8. Every day kings that had cast off their old
enmity rubbed their forehead against his royal foot-
stool. And their resultant change of fortune suggested
the idea that new letters of prosperity were written on
their foreheads (in lieu of those that were already
there from their birth).
9. The royal threshold was always beseiged by
crowds of kings, such as of Magadha, Māļava, Sevuna,
Simhala, Dramila, Kērala and Gauḍa, waiting for an
opportunity to pay their homage.
10. On both sides beautiful damsels waved the
chowri, and in the jingling of their golden bracelet, the
voice of court bards singing panegyrics was almost
drowned.
11. Kampaņa loved very much to listen to com-
positions of good poets in his court, compositions which
were sweet like the sounding of Saraswati's anklets as
she practised graceful walking.
Slökās 12 to 76: The 'song' of the seasons. The amors of
the Prince.
12. The ladies of the court played on the Viņa with
their slim fingers, singing songs that told his world-
known acts of glory. Sweet notes of gamaka that
wafted from the music made it most attractive.
