There was great rejoicing in the court of both the kings and a tempestuous clash
of kettledrums on both sides; the gods rained down flowers, shouting in their joy, "Glory,
glory, glory to the Jewel of Raghu's race!" In this way when it was known that the
marriage procession was approaching, all sorts of music began to play; while Queen
Sunayanå (S∂tå's mother) summoned married women whose husbands were alive and
prepared with their help auspicious materials for the ceremony of waving lights round
the bridegroom.

Kindling lights of various kinds and collecting all other articles of good omen, a
bevy of graceful women, who possessed the charming gait of an elephant, proceeded
joyfully to perform the ceremony of waving lights round the bridegroom. (317)

They all had moon-like faces, and eyes like those of a gazelle; by the elegance
of their form they robbed Rati (Love's consort) of all self-conceit. Attired in costly
garments of various colours they had adorned their person with all kinds of ornaments.
They had further beautified all their limbs with auspicious materials, and sang melodies
that put to shame even a female cuckoo. Bracelets, small bells round their waistband as
well as anklets made a jingling sound as they moved and even Love's elephants blushed
for shame to see their gait. All kinds of music played and there were rejoicing both in the
heavens and in the city. ›ac∂ (Indra's consort), ›åradå, Ramå, Bhavån∂ and other
