[1244] Having turned back the chariot and drawn up his troops, the father approached his son, who was dwelling alone in the forest. Descending from the elephant's back, his robe arranged over one shoulder, his hands joined in reverence, surrounded by his ministers, he came forward to anoint his son. There he saw the prince — lovely in appearance, composed — seated in the leaf-hut, meditating, fearing nothing from any quarter.
