Do.: citrakµu¢a mahimå amita kah∂ mahåmuni gåi,
åi nahåe sarita bara siya sameta dou bhåi.132.
The great sage Vålm∂ki then described at length the infinite glory of Citrakµu¢a and
the two brothers proceeded with S∂tå and bathed in the sacred stream. (132)

›r∂ Råma (the Chief of Raghuís line) said, ìLakmaƒa, here is a good descent into
the river; now make arrangements for our stay somewhere.î Lakmaƒa presently
surveyed the north bank of the Payaswin∂ river and said, ìLo! a rivulet bends round this
bank like a bow with the river itself for its string, control of the mind and senses and
charity for its arrows, and all the sins of the Kali age for its many quarries. Armed with
this bow Mount Citrakµu¢a looks like an immovable huntsman who takes unerring aim and
makes a frontal attack.î With these words Lakmaƒa showed the spot and ›r∂ Råma
was delighted to see the site. When the gods learnt that the site had captivated ›r∂
Råmaís mind, they proceeded to Citrakµu¢a with Vi‹vakarmå, the chief of heavenly
architects. They all came in the guise of Kolas and Bh∂las and put up beautiful dwellings
of leaves and grass. They made a pair of huts which were lovely beyond words, the one
a fine little cottage and the other larger in size. (1ó4)

Do.: lakhana jånak∂ sahita prabhu råjata rucira niketa,
soha madanu muni bea janu rati rituråja sameta.133.
Adorning the beautiful cottage with Lakmaƒa and Janakaís Daughter (S∂tå) the
Lord looked as charming as the god of love accompanied by his consort, Rati, and the
deity presiding over Spring (the king of seasons) all attired as hermits. (133)
