Hearing this most unwelcome demand the king's heart quivered and the brightness
of his countenance faded. He said, "I have been blessed with these four sons in my old
age. You have, therefore, made your demand without due consideration, holy sir. Ask of
me land, cattle, goods and treasure; I will gladly give all I have without delay. Nothing is
dearer than oneís body and life; even these I would part within a second. All my sons are
dear to me as life; but in no case can I afford to spare Råma, my lord. My lovely boys, who
are yet too young, are no match for the most hideous and relentless demons." The enlightened
hermit Vi‹våmitra felt delighted at heart to hear the king's reply, steeped as it was in the
nectar of love. Then Vasi¢ha pleaded with the king in manifold ways and all his doubts
were gone. Most politely he sent for the two boys and pressing them to his bosom admonished
them in many ways. Turning to the sage he then said, "My lord, the two boys are my very
life. You are their only father now, holy sir; there is no one to look after them." (1ó5)

Invoking various blessings on the boys the king committed them to the care of the
sage; then they called at the mother's apartment and bowing their head at her feet departed.
The two heroes, lions among men, oceans of compassion, resolute of purpose and the
ultimate cause of the whole universe, gladly proceeded to rid the sage of his fear. (208A-B)
