The Bride and Bridegroom performed the circumambulation with charming paces;
while all present feasted their admiring gaze on the spectacle. The lovely couple was
beyond description; whatever comparison might be suggested would fall short of the
reality. Lovely images of Råma and S∂tå were reflected on the pillars of jewels and shone
as if Love and his consort, Rati, witnessed ›r∂ Råma's matchless wedding appearing in
numerous forms. Their curiosity and bashfulness were equally great; that is why they
revealed themselves and went out of sight again and again. All the spectators were
enraptured; like Janaka they forgot all about themselves. Joyously the sages bade the
Bride and Bridegroom pace round the fire and accomplished all the rites including the
ceremonial gifts, ›r∂ Råma applied the vermilion to S∂tå's forehead, a sight the charm of
which was altogether beyond description. It seemed as if with a lotus surcharged with
reddish pollen a serpent thirsting for nectar decorated the moon. Then Vasi¢ha gave the
direction and the Bride and Bridegroom sat together on the same seat. (1ó5)
