What words can describe the world-renowned queen-consort of Janaka and S∂tå's
mother? The Creator had exhausted in fashioning her all the bright glory, virtue, joy and
beauty. Perceiving the appropriate time, the great sages sent for her; and in response
to their call married women whose hasbands were alive brought her with due honour.
Queen Sunayanå shone forth to Janaka's left even as Menå beside Himavån (the
mountain-king). The king and queen joyfully brought and placed with their own hands
gold vases and beautiful trays of jewels filled with holy, scented and auspicious water
before ›r∂ Råma. The sages recited the Veda in joyous tones and at the proper time
flowers rained down from the heavens. The royal couple were enraptured to behold the
Bridegroom and began to wash His holy feet. (1ó4)
