Chapter 16 poetically describes the Guru as a king seated on a throne of peace in a state of non-duality. In this divine assembly, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas act as bards singing his glory. As detailed in this chapter, his eight ministers are spiritual qualities like Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, and Self-investigation. His key attributes include being the umbrella-holder of the state of Self and wielding a sharp sword of Knowledge that makes the tree of worldly existence tremble, signifying his power to destroy attachment.
