Chapter 16 uses extensive royal imagery to describe the Sadguru. Can you explain this metaphor, including the key figures in his symbolic court?

In Chapter 16, the Sadguru is portrayed as a magnificent spiritual monarch, the "King of Kings" and "Universal Monarch" seated on the "throne of peace." This elaborate metaphor illustrates his supreme spiritual state. The text describes how the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas act as his bards, singing his glories. His court is served by eight principal ministers: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. Furthermore, as mentioned in Chapter 16, Peace and Self-control are the divine gems that shine like ornaments around his neck, completing the image of a sovereign ruler of the inner world of Self-Bliss.
