Chapter 16 presents a magnificent metaphorical description of the Sadguru as a "Guru-King." In his divine court, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas act as bards singing his glory. Key spiritual qualities are personified as his ministers, including Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, and Meditation. As mentioned in the chapter, his ornaments are Peace and Self-control, and his sharp sword of Knowledge makes the tree of worldly existence tremble. He is portrayed as the "Idol seated on the throne of peace," whose purpose for taking a body is to uplift the poor and lowly.
