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

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 16

The initial verses of Chapter 16 portray the Sadguru, Sainath, as a majestic king. He is described as the "King of Kings" and a "Universal Monarch" seated on a "throne of peace." His court is a magnificent assembly where the four Vedas, six Shastras, and eighteen Puranas serve as bards singing his praises. According to this chapter, spiritual qualities are personified as his attendants: Self-experience and immediate realization wave fans (chowries), while Peace and Self-control are the divine gems adorning his neck. The canopy over this court is Pure Consciousness, spreading bliss everywhere, illustrating the Guru's supreme spiritual state as detailed in Chapter 16.
