For the sake of gods in the form of saints the all-compassionate Hero of Raghuís
line extracted this nectar of love by churning the unfathomable depths of Bharataís soul;
and it was separation from Him which stood for Mount Mandara (that served as a
churning-stick).* (238)

The two charming brothers and their friend (Guha) could not be seen by
Lakmaƒa, screened as they were by a dense thicket. Bharata, however, saw the holy
and lovely hermitage of his lord, which was an abode of all fair blessings. Even as he
entered it his woe and affliction disappeared; it seemed as though a Yog∂ (mystic) had
realized the supreme truth. Bharata saw Lakmaƒa standing before the Lord and
affectionately answering His queries. He wore matted hair on his head and had a hermitís
robe girt about his loins. Besides there was a quiver fastened to his waist and he bore
an arrow in his hand and a bow slung across his shoulder. On the altar in the midst of
an assembly of hermits and holy men shone S∂tå and the Lord of Raghus, who was clad
in the bark of trees and had matted hair on His head and a swarthy complexion; it
seemed as though Rati and the god of love had appeared there in hermitís garb. He was
revolving His bow and arrow between His lotus hands and would dispel by one smiling
glance the anguish of oneís soul. (1ó4)

In the midst of a charming ring of hermits S∂tå and the Moon of Raghuís race
shone forth like Devotion and the Supreme Spirit (who is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss
combined) incarnated as it were in a circle of wisdom. (239)
