In the allegorical court of the Sadguru described in Chapter 16, who are the ministers and bards?

Chapter 16 paints a vivid picture of the Sadguru's spiritual court, where abstract qualities are personified in symbolic roles. The chapter lists eight specific 'ministers' who are constantly engaged in His service: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. In this magnificent assembly, the roles of bards are filled by the sacred scriptures themselves. As Chapter 16 explains, 'The four (Vedas), six (Shastras), and eighteen (Puranas) are the bards,' constantly singing the glory of the Guru-King.
