How does Chapter 16 use the metaphor of a royal court to describe the Sadguru?

Chapter 16 opens by portraying the Sadguru, Sainath, as a universal monarch or king. He is described as the 'Idol seated on the throne of peace' and the 'Lord of the Empire of Self-Bliss.' In this magnificent assembly, the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas act as bards singing his glory. As detailed in Chapter 16, his court includes eight principal ministers: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing, Reflection, Meditation, Self-investigation, and Realization. His ornaments are Peace and Self-control, and he wields a brilliant 'sword of Knowledge' that makes worldly existence tremble.
