of immortals) stood no comparison with the spots which were trodden by ›r∂ Råmaís
feet. The dwellers on the wayside were all embodiments of virtue; they evoked the praise
of the denizens of heaven inasmuch as they feasted their eyes on ›r∂ Råma, who was
dark as a cloud, as well as on S∂tå and Lakmaƒa. The lakes and streams in which ›r∂
Råma bathed were the envy of the lakes and rivers of gods. The tree under which the
Lord sat was glorified by the trees of paradise. Nay, kissing the dust of ›r∂ Råmaís lotusfeet
Earth deemed herself most lucky. (1ó4)

Clouds screened Him from the sun, the gods rained flowers and regarded Him
with wistful eyes as ›r∂ Råma wended His way looking at the mountains, forests, birds
and beasts. (113)

Whenever S∂tå, Lakmaƒa and the Lord of Raghus happened to pass by some
village, all those who heard of His comingóyoung and old, men and women alikeócame
out at once, unmindful of their household duties. Beholding the beauty of ›r∂ Råma,
Lakmaƒa and S∂tå they obtained the reward of their eyes and felt gratified. Their eyes
were wet with tears, a thrill ran through their body and they were all enraptured to behold
the two brothers. The state of their mind could not be described in words; it seemed as
if paupers had stumbled on a pile of heavenly gems. Calling their neighbours they
admonished one another: ìObtain the reward of your eyes this very moment.î Some
were enraptured to see Råma and went with Him gazing on Him all the time. Others took
His image into the heart through the door of their eyes and were utterly overpowered in
body, mind and speech. (1ó4)
