Part 5: Expedition of conquest

For the sake of conquest, he went east to the eastern ocean, following the cakra. There he made submissive the Prince of Māgadhatīrtha. Then he turned to the southern ocean and subdued the god, Lord of Varadāman. For even a god on earth is not equal to a Cakravartin. Then he went to the western ocean and easily subdued the god, the Lord of Prabhāsa, by one arrow that was shot. Then he subdued Sindhu, like a second ocean (sindhurāja), and, resembling Indra, the god, the Prince of Mt. Vaitāḍhya. He himself subdued the god named Kṛtamāla and had the west district of the great river Sindhu subdued by the general. Long-armed, he entered and left Tamisrā properly and conquered the Kirātas, named Āpātas. He conquered the west district of the Sindhu by the general and, powerful as a god, subdued the Prince of Himavat. He wrote his name on Ṛṣabhakūṭa with the cowrie, turned, and conquered the east district of the Gaṅgā by the general. He himself subdued Gaṅgā and the lords of the Vidyādharas, and Nāṭyamāla living at the door of Khaṇḍaprapātā. He left Vaitāḍhya by the cave Khaṇḍaprapātā and quickly conquered the east district of the Gaṅgā by the general. The nine treasures, Naisarpa, et cetera, located at the mouth of the Gaṅgā, submitted to him when he was encamped at the Gaṅgā. Then he went to his own city, his glory of a Cakravartin having been completed, and his enthronement as a cakrin was made by gods and men.

With unbroken strength he enjoyed the six-part earth and in course of time, terrified by existence, he became a mendicant.

Three hundred years passed while Jaya was prince aṇd the same while he was governor; one hundred passed in the conquest of the quarters; nineteen hundred in the rank of cakrin; and four hundred passed in the vow.
