›r∂ Råmacandra. S∂tå invariably did what would afford delight to the All-merciful,
conversant as She was with the art of service. Devoid of pride and conceit, She waited
upon Kausalyå and all the other mothers-in-law in the palace. Umå, (continues Lord
›iva,) S∂tå was no other than Goddess Ramå (Lakm∂), the Mother of the universe, who
is adored even by Brahmå and other gods and is ever flawless. (1ó5)

The same Lakm∂ whose benign look is craved by the gods but who never casts a
glance at them constantly loves ›r∂ Råmaís lotus feet, forgetting Her natural majesty. (24)

All the younger brothers served the Lord with great fidelity; for their love for ›r∂ Råma
knew no bounds. They ever kept gazing on His lotus face in the hope that the benign
Lord might give some order to them at any moment. ›r∂ Råma too loved His younger
brothers and taught them wisdom of every kind. The citizens led a happy life and enjoyed
all sorts of pleasures which even gods could scarcely obtain. Day and night they prayed
to God and sought the boon of devotion to the feet of ›r∂ Råma (the Hero of Raghuís
line). S∂tå gave birth to two pretty sons, Lava and Ku‹a by name, who have figured in
the Vedas and Puråƒas. Both these boys were victorious in battle, modest, accomplished
and handsome, the very images as it were of ›r∂ Hari (Råma). ›r∂ Råmaís other brothers
too had two sons each, pre-eminent in comeliness of form, merit and virtue. (1ó4)
