Puranjana’s entrance into the palace was well celebrated. A very detailed description of the interior and arrangements in the palace is given here. The king is accompanied by various accomplices as he moves in and out of the various parts of the palace.

As Puranjana enters his wife’s chambers, he was pleased by his wife and sons with Moham(desire), Harsham(pleasure) or Prasadam(joy) alternately. He lived in a bondage created by the attachment with his wife and children.

He was blindly obeying and imitating his wife without any discrimination. When she sat, he sat; when she walked he walked too. Whatever she did, he too did, even if it was drinking liquor.

When she was happy, he was also happy. When she was sad, he was also sad. He lost all his individuality and became a slave to his wife and followed her like an animal following its master.

Note – when a baby enters his mother’s womb, it is a festive occasion for all and his birth is celebrated joyfully. Puranjana’s entering into the palace is symbolic of human birth. The king’s accomplices are the various Pranas that circulate in the body.
