kula r∂ti pr∂ti sameta rabi kahi deta sabu sådara kiyo,
ehi bhå°ti deva pujåi s∂tahi subhaga si≈ghåsanu diyo.
siya råma avalokani parasapara premu kåhu na lakhi parai,
mana buddhi bara bån∂ agocara praga¢a kabi kaise° karai.2.
Having observed the family customs the Gurus (Vasi¢ha and ›atånanda) in great
joy directed the Bråhmaƒas to worship Goddess Gaur∂ and Her son Gaƒe‹a; the gods
accepted the homage in visible form and gave their blessing with great delight. Whatever
auspicious article such as a mixture of honey* etc., the sages mentally sought at any
particular moment, attendants stood ever ready with gold trays and pitchers full of that
substance. The sun-god himself lovingly pointed out the family usages, which were all
scrupulously observed. Having thus caused S∂tå to worship the gods, the sages
assigned Her a beautiful throne. The mutual love with which S∂tå and Råma regarded
each other could not be perceived by anyone. It was beyond the reach of the best mind,
intellect and speech; how then, could the poet express it? (1-2)

While oblations were offered to the sacred fire, the fire-god in person accepted the
offerings with great delight; and the Vedas in the guise of Bråhmaƒas directed the
procedure of the nuptial ceremony. (323)
