Part 6: Conquest of Vaitāḍhya by Sagara

The cakra left the armory, like an elephant its own stable, for the home of the Śrīs to the northeast. Following it, in a few days the King arrived at the south slope of the great mountain, Vaitāḍhya. After establishing a camp like a city of the Vidyādharas on it, he made a three days’ fast against the Prince of Vaitāḍhya. When the King’s fast of three days was finished, the lion-throne of the Prince of Vaitāḍhya shook. Then he knew by clairvoyant knowledge that Cakrin Sagara had approached the boundary of the half of Bharata. He approached and, standing in the air, gave the King divine jewels and clothes, thrones and vīrāsanas. “Long live! Long rejoice! Tong he victorious! Hail!” delighted, he said to the King, like a priest. Sagara replied to him with honor, as if he were a dear kinsman of his own, then dismissed him, and broke his three days’ fast. He made an eight-day festival, like a golden finial on the palace of his own favor, to the Prince of Mt. Vaitāḍhya.
