Then, as they looked on S∂tå, a few princes were filled with longing for her; those
wicked, degenerate fools grew indignant. Rising from their seats one after another and
donning their armour the wretches began to brag about. Someone said, ìCarry off S∂tå
by force and capturing the two princes hold them in bondage. No purpose will be served
by merely breaking the bow; for who shall marry the princess while we still live? Should
Janaka come forward to help them, rout him in battle alongwith the two brothers.î When
the good kings heard these words, they said, ìShame itself feels shy in approaching this
assembly of princes. Your might, glory, valour, fame and honour have been shattered
alongwith the bow. Is it the same valour of which you are boasting, or have you since
acquired it anew from somewhere else? It is because such is your mentality that God
has blackened your faces.î (1ó4)

ìGiving up jealousy, arrogance and anger, therefore, feast your eyes upon Råma;
and knowing Lakmaƒaís wrath to be a blazing fire, do not allow yourselves to be
consumed by it like a moth.î (266)

ìAs a crow should seek an offering set apart for GaruŒa (the king of birds), as a
rabbit should covet the share of a lion, as a man who is angry without any cause should
expect happiness, as an enemy of ›iva should crave for riches of all kinds, as a greedy
and covetous man should long for good fame and as a gallant should aspire to be free
from scandal, and as one who is averse to ›r∂ Hariís feet should hanker after the highest
destiny (Liberation), your longing, O princes, (for S∂tå) is of the same category.î When
S∂tå heard the tumult, She got afraid and Her companions took Her to the queen; while
