Chapter 16 presents a rich allegorical description of the Sadguru as a 'Guru-King.' In his magnificent assembly, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas serve as bards. His ministers are listed as eight qualities: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing, Reflection, Meditation, Self-investigation, and Realization. The chapter further illustrates that Peace and Self-control are the divine gems adorning his neck, his speech is the nectar from the ocean of Vedanta, and the sharp sword of Knowledge he wields makes the tree of worldly existence tremble in fear.
