Kau‹ika (Vi‹våmitra) said, ìO wise hero of Raghuís race, I like this orchard; let us
stay here.î ìVery well, my lord !î answered the gracious Lord, and encamped there with
all the hermitsí train . When the king of Mithilå got the news that the great sage Vi‹våmitra
had come. (1ó4)

He took with him his faithful ministers, a number of warriors, noble Bråhmaƒas, his
family preceptor (›atånanda) and the chief of his kinsmen, and thus went forth rejoicing
to meet the prince of sages. (214)

Placing his head on the sageís feet the king made obeisance to him; while the lord
of the sages, Vi‹våmitra, gladly gave him his blessing. The king then respectfully saluted
the Bråhmaƒas and congratulated himself on his good fortune (in being able to receive
them). Inquiring again and again about his welfare, Vi‹våmitra led the king to a seat. At that
very time arrived the two half-brothers, who had gone to see the garden. One dark and the
other fair, the two lads were yet tender of age. The delight of all eyes, they stole the heart
of the whole world. All those present there rose when the Lord of Raghus came; and Vi‹våmitra
seated Him by his side. They were all delighted to see the two brothers: tears rushed to their
eyes and the hair on their body bristled with joy. Beholding ›r∂ Råmaís lovely and charming
form, King Videha* (Janaka) was particularly beside himself with joy. (1ó4)
* There is a pun on the word ëVidehaí in the original. The kings of Mithilå enjoyed the hereditary title
of ëVidehaí because they ruled over the territory of Videha (Mithilå). King Janaka was also a man of wisdom
and had, therefore, no feeling of self-identification with the body. At the sight of ›r∂ Råma, however, he was
completely out of his body and therefore justified his name (Videha) in a special degree.
