In the company of Vasi¢ha the king shone forth as Indra (the lord of celestials)
by the side of his preceptor (Bæhaspati). After performing all the rites sanctioned by family
usage or prescribed by the Vedas and seeing everyone fully equipped for the journey,
he sallied forth to the blast of the conch-shell after receiving the permission of his
preceptor and with his thoughts fixed on ›r∂ Råma. The immortals rejoiced to see the
marriage procession and rained down flowers full of auspicious blessings. There was a
confused din of horses neighing, elephants trumpeting and music playing both in the
heavens and in the procession. Human and celestial dames alike sang festal melodies,
while clarionets played in sweet accord. There was an indescribable clamour of bells,
both large and small. The footmen leaped and danced, displaying exercises of various
kinds. Jesters, proficient in pleasantry and expert in singing melodious songs, practised
all kinds of buffoonery. (1ó4)

Gallant princes made their steeds cruvet to the measured beat of tabors and
kettledrums; accomplished dancers noted with surprise that they never made a step out
of time. (302)

The splendour of the marriage procession was more than one could describe. Fair
and auspicious omens occurred. The blue-necked jay picked up food on the left and
announced as it were all good fortune. On a fair field in the right appeared a cow, and a
mongoose was seen by all. A soft, cool and fragrant breeze was blowing in a favourable
direction; a blessed (unwidowed) woman appeared with a pitcher and a child in her arms. A
fox turned round and showed himself again and again and a cow suckled its calf in front of
