His swarthy form possessed the glow of a peacock's neck, while His bright yellow
raiment outshone the lightning. Wedding ornaments of every kind, all auspicious and
graceful in everyway, adorned His person. His countenance was as delightful as the
moon in a cloudless autumnal night; while His eyes put to shame a blooming pair of
lotuses. The elegance of His form was transcendent in all its details; though captivating
the soul, it defied description. Beside Him shone forth His lovely brothers, who rode
curveting their restive steed. The other princes too displayed the pace of their horses
and the family bards recited the glories of their line. Even the king of birds, GaruŒa,
blushed for shame to note the speed of the steed that Råma bestrode; it was charming
beyond description in everyway; it seemed as though Cupid himself had taken the form
of horse. (1ó4)

It seemed as if Cupid himself had appeared with all his charm in the disguise of
a horse for the sake of ›r∂ Råma and fascinated the whole universe with its youth and
vigour, form and virtues as well as with its pace. A bejewelled saddle, thick set with
beautiful pearls, gems and rubies shone on his back; the exquisite band with small
tinkling bells and the lovely bridle, dazed gods, men and sages alike.
