How does Chapter 16 of the Satcharitra use metaphors to describe Sai Baba's divine court and attributes?

📖 Chapter 16

Chapter 16 poetically describes Sai Baba as a Guru-King seated on a 'throne of peace.' His divine assembly includes 'chowries' (fans) of Self-experience and immediate realization, an 'umbrella-holder' of the state of Self, and a 'staff-bearer' of the consciousness of peace. The text from Chapter 16 further explains that the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas serve as his bards. His ministers are virtues like Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, and Meditation, while peace and self-control are the divine gems adorning his neck. This elaborate metaphorical court illustrates the supreme spiritual state that Baba embodies.
