darkness. The stars appear like so many pearls strewn all over the sky, which serve to
adorn the lovely dame of night.î ìNow tell me, brethren,î continued the Lord, ìWhat you
think, each of you, of the dark spot in the moon.î Said Sugr∂va, ìListen, O Lord of the
Raghus: it is only the shadow of the earth that is seen in the moon.î ìThe demon Råhu
struck the moon,î said another; ìand the spot is nothing but a scar left on the latterís
bosom.î A third suggested: ìWhen Brahmå (the Creator) fashioned the face of Rati
(consort of the god of love), he took out the essence of the moon (thus leaving a hole
in the orb thereof). The hole is still visible in the heart of the moon and through it can be
seen the shade of the blue.î The Lord said, ìPoison is the moonís most beloved brother;
that is why he has lodged it in his heart and, diffusing his envenomed rays, torments
parted lovers.î (1ó5)

The all-wise ›r∂ Råma smiled to hear the words of Hanumån (the son of the
