In Chapter 16, the Sadguru is majestically portrayed as a "King of Kings" and "Universal Monarch" reigning from a "throne of peace." His kingdom is the empire of Self-Bliss. The chapter elaborates on this metaphor by identifying his eight ministers as virtues like Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, and Meditation. Furthermore, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas are depicted as his bards. The Sadguru wields the "sword of Knowledge," which is so potent that the very "tree of worldly existence" trembles before it, illustrating his supreme spiritual authority.
