of love which could not be described in words. He saw there a few gold spangles, which
he placed on his head and treated them on a par with S∂tå. With tears in his eyes and
a heart full of remorse he spoke to his friend in sweet accents: ìThese spangles have
lost their charm and appear lustreless due to their separation from S∂tå, even as the
people of Ayodhyå, both men and women, are spent through sorrow. To whom shall I

the envy even of the lord of paradise (Indra). And her beloved lord is no other than Lord
›r∂ Råma, from whose glory all great ones derive their greatness! (1ó4)

devoted to their lord, my heart does not break in horror; it is harder than adamant,
my God.î (199)

"And my younger brother, Lakmaƒa, is so comely and worth fondling; never was
there such a brother, nor is there, nor will be. Beloved of the people and the darling of
his parents, he is dear as life to both S∂tå and the Hero of Raghu's line. Nay, he is so
delicate of frame and tender of disposition and his body has never been exposed to hot
winds; yet he is bearing hardships of every kind in the woods. Oh! my breast has
