On hearing the letter the two brothers experienced a thrill of joy; their whole frame
was bursting with an excess of emotion. The whole court was particularly delighted to see
Bharataís unalloyed love. The king then seated the messengers close by him and spoke
to them in sweet and winning tones: ìTell me, friends, are the two boys well? Have you
seen them well with your own eyes? The one dark and the other fair of hue, they are
equipped with bow and quiver and are of tender age and accompanied by the sage Kau‹ika.
Do you recognize them? If so, tell me something about their temperament.î Overwhelmed
with love the king asked thus again and again. ìFrom the day the sage took them away it
is only today that I have obtained authentic news about them. Tell me how King Videha was
able to know them.î At these fond words the messengers smiled. (1ó4)

ìListen, O crest-jewel of kings: there is no one so blessed as you, who have for
your sons Råma and Lakmaƒa, the two ornaments of the universe.î (291)
