he had won such great renown without much exertion. (1ó4)

Having beheld the Chief of Raghuís line those who had eyes attained the end of
their life and were rid of sorrow; whereas inanimate objects rejoiced at the touch of the
very dust of His feet and became eligible for attaining the highest state (blessedness).
The forest and hill where that Ocean of Bliss (›r∂ Råma) took up His abode were
naturally lovely; auspicious and the holiest of the holy; how could it be possible to glorify
them ? The exquisite beauty of the forest where S∂tå, Lakmaƒa and ›r∂ Råma came and
settled, taking leave of the ocean of milk and bidding adieu to Ayodhyå, could not be
described even by a hundred thousand ›eas (each with a thousand pairs of tongues).
How, then, can I describe it at some length any more than a tortoise living in a puddle
can lift Mount Mandara? Lakmaƒa waited upon ›r∂ Råma in thought, word and deed with
an amiability and devotion more than one could tell. (1ó4)

* Citrakµu¢a being a peak of the Vindhya mountains, the glory of the former is naturally shared by the
latter. It is on this account that joyfulness is attributed to the range itself.
