In the allegorical court of the Guru-King described in Chapter 16, several divine qualities are personified as his attendants and ornaments. The chapter specifically lists eight "ministers" who are constantly engaged in His service: Detachment, Devotion, Pure Knowledge, Hearing (Shravan), Reflection (Manan), Meditation (Nididhyasan), Self-investigation, and Realization. Furthermore, the text from Chapter 16 mentions that Peace and Self-control are the divine gems that shine as ornaments around His neck, and his sweet speech is compared to the river of nectar from the ocean of Vedanta.
