perceive the great mystery behind it. The sage told the king that the arrangements were
splendid; and the king was highly satisfied and pleased to hear this. (1ó4)

with the rising of the full moon. For they all felt inwardly assured that Råma would
undoubtedly break the bow; or, even if the huge bow of ›iva proved too strong for Him,
that S∂tå would still place the garland of victory round His neck. They therefore, said to
one another, ìRealizing this, brothers, let us turn homewards, casting to the winds all
