How does Chapter 16 describe Sai Baba using the metaphor of a king and his royal court?

📖 Chapter 16

Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra opens with a majestic depiction of Sai Baba as a "King of Kings" and the "Lord of the Empire of Self-Bliss." This royal court metaphor is quite detailed. The text explains that the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas serve as his bards, while a "canopy of Pure Consciousness" shines above him. As cited in Chapter 16, his court includes eight ministers who are engaged in his service: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. His divine ornaments are Peace and Self-control, shining around his neck.
