ends of human endeavour, viz., riches, religious merit etc. The people of the city were
delighted beyond measure to see King Da‹aratha with his sons. The gods rained down
flowers and beat their drums; the nymphs of heaven danced and sang. ›atånanda (King
Janakaís family preceptor) and the other Bråhmaƒas and ministers of State, as well as
the genealogists, minstrels, jesters and rhapsodists, who formed the deputation, paid due
honour to the king and his party and returned with their permission. The bridegroomís
party had arrived earlier than the day fixed for the wedding: there was great rejoicing in
the city on this account . Everyone enjoyed transcendent bliss and prayed to the Creator
that the days and nights might be lengthened. (1ó4)

ìRåma and S∂tå are the perfection of beauty, and the two kings (Da‹aratha and
Janaka) the perfection of virtue!î Thus would observe the men and women of the city

ìVaideh∂ (S∂tå) is the incarnation of Janakaís merit, and Råma is Da‹arathaís
virtue personified. No one has worshipped ›iva with such devotion as these two kings,
nor has anyone obtained such a reward as they have. No one has equalled them in
this world, nor is there anyone to equal them anywhere nor shall be. We are all
storehouses of all kinds of merits in that we have been born in this world as residents
of Janakaís capital. Who is so highly blessed as we, who have beheld the beauty of
Jånak∂ (S∂tå) and Råma? And we will witness ›r∂ Råmaís wedding and shall thereby
richly reap the benefit of our eyes.î Damsels with voice as sweet as the notes of the
cuckoo whispered to one another, ìO bright-eyed friends, we shall gain much by this
