“How is it that the Pushya-Ratha, the lovely gold chariot drawn by the four dainty horses is not seen? (A Pushya-Ratha is an elegant small chariot made of gold and a symbol of royal glory and paraphernalia of the king. It moves in front of the royal procession heralding the royal chariot. It is not used in a war.) How is it that the majestic royal elephant resembling a huge dark cloud and caparisoned with finery is absent? How is it there is no Bhadr?sana carrier in front of you? (Bhadr?sana is an auspicious seat. It is a royal symbol and an official of the palace carries it in front of the royal procession.)”
