Chapter 16 uses rich, allegorical language to describe the splendor of the Guru-King's assembly. It portrays the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas as bards singing His praise under a shining canopy of Pure Consciousness. Virtues like Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, and Meditation are personified as eight ministers engaged in His service. Furthermore, the chapter describes Peace and Self-control as divine gems adorning His neck, and His sweet speech is likened to a river of nectar from the ocean of Vedanta. This imagery establishes the Guru as the supreme monarch of Self-Bliss.
