When the citizens received the news that the two princes had come to see the
town, they all left their business and ran out of their homes as if paupers were out to grab
a valuable property. Beholding the natural grace of two brothers, they were glad at heart
and attained the consummation of their eyes. Sticking to the air-holes of their houses
young ladies lovingly scanned ›r∂ Råmaís beauty. They fondly spoke to one another in
the following words: ìO friend, He has surpassed in beauty millions of Cupids. Nowhere
among gods, men, demons, Någas or sages do we hear of such beauty. God Viƒu is
endowed with four arms, Brahmå has four face, while ›iva, the Slayer of Tripura, has
a frightful garb and five faces. O friend, there is no other god who could stand
comparison with this beauty. (1ó4)

ìThe two lads, one dark and the other fair, are yet of tender age and are
repositories of beauty and abodes of bliss. Millions and hundreds of millions of Cupids
are worth sacrificing to each one of their limbs.î (220)

ìTell me, friend, what embodied being is there that would not be charmed to see
such beauty?î One of them lovingly said in gentle tones, ìHear, my dear, what I have
been told. These two lads, a beautiful pair of cygnets as it were, are sons of King Da‹aratha;
they are the protectors of Kau‹ikaís sacrifice, and have slain demons in the field of battle.
He who has a swarthy form and has charming lotus-like eyes and who has quelled the
pride of Mår∂ca and Subåhu, wielding a bow and shaft in His hands, is Kausalyåís son,
Råma by name, the very fountain of bliss. The fair youth in gallant attire, who is closely
following ›r∂ Råma, a bow and arrow in hand, is the latterís younger brother and is named
Lakmaƒa. Sumitrå, friend, is his mother, you must know. (1ó4)
