Chapter 16 describes the Sadguru using powerful imagery like a king and a warrior. Can you explain these attributes?

Chapter 16 portrays the Sadguru, Sainath, with powerful, kingly, and martial metaphors to describe his spiritual authority. He is called the 'King of Kings' and the 'umbrella-holder of the state of Self.' The text also describes a 'sharp blade of the sword of Knowledge' that shines brilliantly in his hand. The mere sight of this sword raised to strike causes the 'tree of worldly existence' to tremble in fear. This imagery signifies his power to destroy a devotee's attachment to worldly life and illusion (Maya), where enemies like lust and anger cannot survive. He is the supreme 'King of Yogis' who wields the ultimate weapon of knowledge for the devotee's liberation.
