The hopes of the rival kings vanished as night and their boasts died away like the
serried stars. The arrogant princes shrivelled up like the lilies and the false kings shrank
away like owls. Sages and gods, like the Cakravåka bird, were rid of their sorrow and

His natural grace with the tread of a noble and beautiful elephant in rut. As ›r∂ Råma
moved ahead all men and women of the city rejoiced and thrilled all over their body.
Invoking the manes and gods and recalling their own past good deeds they prayed: ìIf
our religious merits are of any value, O Lord Gaƒe‹a may Råma snap the bow of ›iva
as it were a lotus-stalk.î (1ó4)
