ìO elephants guarding the cardinal points, O divine tortoise*, O serpent-king, and
O divine boar*, steadily hold the earth that it may not shake. ›r∂ Råma seeks to break the
bow of ›a∆kara; therefore, listen to my command and be ready.î When Råma drew near
to the bow, men and women present there invoked in His behalf the help of gods as well
as of their past good deeds. The doubts and ignorance of all who had assembled there,
the arrogance of the foolish kings, the proud pretensions of Para‹uråma (the Chief of
Bhrguís race), the apprehension of gods and the great sages, the distress of S∂tå, King
Janakaís remorse and the fire of the queenís terrible agonyóall these boarded together the
great bark of ›ambhuís bow, with whose help they sought to cross the boundless ocean
of ›r∂ Råmaís strength of arm; but there was no helmsman to steer the ship. (1ó4)

Råma first looked at the crowd of spectators and found them motionless as the
figures of a drawing. The gracious Lord then turned His eyes towards S∂tå and perceived
Her in deep distress. (260)

* The divine tortoise referred to here is the same who served as the base for churning the ocean of
milk at the dawn of creation. And the divine boar refers to the manifestation of the Lord as a boar in order to lift
the earth out of the waters in which the demon Hiraƒyåka had submerged it. The tortoise as well as the boar
are represented here as ever holding the earth, conjointly with the serpent-king, the one on its back and the
other on its tusks.
