From this king of the world and the queen, was born Vijaya Sena,

the strength of his enemies, and extended his conquests to the end of the 
four oceans* which girdle the world like bracelets.

As he, being armed only with a sword and with no other assistance, 
obtained the undisputed dominion of the earth girdled by the seven 
" oceans,.can we compare him to Rama, the leader of innumerable monkey 
forces? or to Partha (Arjuna) the generalissimo of the Pandava forces ? 
[In conquering the earth, Rama and Partha had advantages of large 
“armies, while he had none. 
_ Partha the third son of Pandu was a famous warrior. In the war 
ofthe Kurus and Pandavas, he was the general of the Pandavas, His 
heroic deeds are celebrated in the Mahabharat. 
~ “ Monkey forces.” . This mention of monkey forces, appears to me 
to agree curiously with the scenes in Homer I1. iii. 6. When speaking 
of India, he writes— 
Avopact Uvypatowcr povov Kat Knpa pepovorat 
and he goes on to say. (I forget the remaining lines,) that the king of 
India kept an army of 3000 of them as guards. |
