The joy which Sita's mother felt in her heart on beholding Sri Rama in the attire of a bridegroom was more than a thousand Saradas and Sesas could not tell in a hundred Kalpas.

Again he paid divine honours to the King of Ayodhya, taking him to be the peer of Siva and none other; and mentioning how his fortune and rank had been enhanced through relation with King Dasaratha, he made humble supplication to the latter and extolled him with joined palms. King Janaka worshipped all the members of the bridegroom's party with the same honour in every respect as he had paid to the bridegroom's father, and assigned appropriate seats to them all. How am I to describe with my one tongue the warmth of his feeling? Janaka honoured the whole bridegroom's party with gifts, polite behaviour, supplication and sweet words. Brahma, Hari, Hara, the guardians of the eight quarters of the world* and the sun-god, all of whom had knowledge of Sri Rama's glory, disguised themselves as noble Brahmanas and witnessed the spectacle with great delight. Janaka worshipped them as on a par with gods and, though he recognized them not, assigned them exalted seats.

Perceiving that the time of wedding had arrived, Vasistha sent for Satananda with all the honour due to him, and on hearing the call the latter came with all reverence. "Kiindly go and bring the bride quickly now." Receiving the sage's order he gladly left. The wise queen with her associates was highly pleased to hear the priest's message; she sent for a few Brahmana ladies and the elder ladies of the family, who performed the family rites and sang charming festal songs. The consorts of the principal gods, who were disguised as mortal women, were all naturally lovely and in the prime of their youth. The ladies of Janaka's household were delighted to see them and, even though none recognized them, the ladies held them dearer than their life. The queen honoured them again and again treating them on a par with Uma, Rama and Sarada. After adorning Sita and forming a circle about Her they joyously conducted Her to the pavilion

"There will be hospitality of every kind; who, dear one, would not love to stay at such a father-in-law's. On each such occasion all the people of the city will be happy to behold Sri Rama and Laksmana. King Dasaratha, my friends, has brought with him two other lads exactly resembling the pair of Rama and Laksmana. One dark, the other fair, but both charming of every limb: so declare all those who have seen them." Said another, "I saw them today: it appeared to me as though the Creator had fashioned them with his own hands. Bharata is an exact copy of Rama; no man or woman could distinguish them at first sight. Laksmana and Satrusudana (Satrughna) are indistinguishable from each other, peerless in every limb from head to foot. The four brothers attract the mind but cannot be described in words; for they have no match in all the three worlds."

The marvellous art of the pavilion and its charm captivated the heart even of sages; yet wise Janaka fetched and placed with his own hands thrones for all the honoured guests. He worshipped the sage Vasistha as if he were his own family deity and supplicating before him received his blessings; while the supreme devotion with which he paid his homage to Kausika was something too great for words.

The sight of Sri Rama was so soothing to the guests; the ways of love are beyond description. Beside the king his four sons looked like incarnations as it were of the four ends of human endeavour, viz., riches, religious merit etc. The people of the city were delighted beyond measure to see King Dasaratha with his sons. The gods rained down flowers and beat their drums; the nymphs of heaven danced and sang. Satananda (King Janaka's family preceptor) and the other Brahmanas and ministers of State, as well as the genealogists, minstrels, jesters and rhapsodists, who formed the deputation, paid due honour to the king and his party and returned with their permission. The bridegroom's party had arrived earlier than the day fixed for the wedding: there was great rejoicing in the city on this account . Everyone enjoyed transcendent bliss and prayed to the Creator that the days and nights might be lengthened.

There was great rejoicing in the court of both the kings and a tempestuous clash of kettledrums on both sides; the gods rained down flowers, shouting in their joy, "Glory, glory, glory to the Jewel of Raghu's race!" In this way when it was known that the marriage procession was approaching, all sorts of music began to play; while Queen Sunayana (Sita's mother) summoned married women whose husbands were alive and prepared with their help auspicious materials for the ceremony of waving lights round the bridegroom.

In this way they all prayed and a flood of joy inundated their heart. The princes who had come as Sita's suitors rejoiced to see the four brothers and returned each to his own home extolling Sri Rama's widespread and spotless fame. Thus a few days elapsed to the delight alike of the citizens and all the members of the bridegroom's party. At length the blessed day of wedding arrived; it was the delightful month of Margasirsa and the beginning of the cold season. Having carefully examined and determined the propitious nature of the planets, date, asterism, the conjunction of the stars, the day of the week and the hour of the wedding the Creator despatched the note concerning the hour of the wedding through Narada; it was just the same that Janaka's astrologers had already determined. When all the people heard of this, they observed, "The astrologers of this place are so many creators as it were."

Vaidehi (Sita) is the incarnation of Janaka's merit, and Rama is Dasaratha's virtue personified. No one has worshipped Siva with such devotion as these two kings, nor has anyone obtained such a reward as they have. No one has equalled them in this world, nor is there anyone to equal them anywhere nor shall be. We are all storehouses of all kinds of merits in that we have been born in this world as residents of Janaka's capital. Who is so highly blessed as we, who have beheld the beauty of Janaki (Sita) and Rama? And we will witness Sri Rama's wedding and shall thereby richly reap the benefit of our eyes." Damsels with voice as sweet as the notes of the cuckoo whispered to one another, "O bright-eyed friends, we shall gain much by this union. By our great good-luck Providence has ordained things well: the two brothers shall often delight our eyes."

Jars of gold full of sweet and cold drinks and trays and salvers and beautiful dishes of various kinds laden with confections of indescribable variety and delicious as ambrosia, with luscious fruit and many other delightful articles were sent as an offering by King Janaka in his joy. The king also sent ornaments, wearing apparel, valuable gems of every variety, birds, antelopes, horses, elephants, vehicles of every description, charming aromatic substances of an auspicious nature and various articles of good omen; and a train of porters marched with their loads of curds, parched rice and presents of endless variety slung across their shoulders. When the deputation saw the bridegroom's party, their mind was filled with rapture and a thrill ran through their frame. Seeing the deputation equipped in everyway the members of the bridegroom's party had their drums beaten in great joy.

At the very mention of whose name all evil is uprooted and the four ends of human existence are brought within one's grasp, such are Sita and Rama," said the Destroyer of Cupid, Sankara. In this way Sambhu admonished the divinities, and then spurred on His noble bull. The gods beheld Dasaratha marching (to Janaka's palace) with his heart full of rapture and the hair on his body standing erect. The assemblage of holy men and Brahmanas accompanying the king appeared like joys incarnate ministering to him. By his side shone forth the four handsome princes, incarnations as it were of the four types of final beatitude.* The gods were greatly inspired with love to see two lovely pairs, one possessing the hue of emeralds and the other of golden hue.

Celestial damsels rained down flowers and sang, while the glad gods sounded kettledrums. The members of the deputation placed all the offerings before King Dasaratha and supplicated him with an affectionate address. The king lovingly accepted everything and distributed the offerings as presents among his own people, or bestowed them as alms on the beggars. After due homage, reverence and courtesy the deputation conducted the bridegroom's party to the lodgings set apart for them. Gorgeous cloths were spread as carpets for the royal guests to tread upon, on seeing which Kubera (the god of wealth) was no longer proud of his wealth. Magnificent were the quarters assigned to the bridegroom's party, which provided every kind of comfort for each guest. When Sita learnt that the bridegroom's party had arrived in the city, She manifested Her glory to a certain extent. By Her very thought She summoned all the Siddhis (miraculous powers personified) and despatched them to wait upon the king and his party.

The king asked the family priest (Satananda), "What is the cause of delay now?" Satananda then summoned the ministers, who came equipped with all auspicious articles. A number of conches, drums and tabors sounded. Festal vases and articles of good omen (such as curds, turmeric and blades of Durva grass) were displayed. Graceful women (whose husbands were alive) sang songs, and holy Brahmanas murmured Vedic texts. In this manner they proceeded to invite the bridegroom's party with due honour and called at the latter's lodgings. When they witnessed King Dasaratha's glory, Indra (the lord of celestials) looked very small to them. "The hour has come; be good enough to start now," they submitted. At this the drums gave a thundering beat. After consulting his preceptor and going through the family rites King Dasaratha sallied forth with a host of sages and holy men.

केकि कंठ दुति स्यामल अंगा। तड़ित बिनिंदक बसन सुरंगा।। ब्याह बिभूषन बिबिध बनाए। मंगल सब सब भाँति सुहाए।। सरद बिमल बिधु बदनु सुहावन। नयन नवल राजीव लजावन।। सकल अलौकिक सुंदरताई। कहि न जाइ मनहीं मन भाई।। बंधु मनोहर सोहहिं संगा। जात नचावत चपल तुरंगा।। राजकुअँर बर बाजि देखावहिं। बंस प्रसंसक बिरिद सुनावहिं।। जेहि तुरंग पर रामु बिराजे। गति बिलोकि खगनायकु लाजे।। कहि न जाइ सब भाँति सुहावा। बाजि बेषु जनु काम बनावा।।

His swarthy form possessed the glow of a peacock's neck, while His bright yellow raiment outshone the lightning. Wedding ornaments of every kind, all auspicious and graceful in everyway, adorned His person. His countenance was as delightful as the moon in a cloudless autumnal night; while His eyes put to shame a blooming pair of lotuses. The elegance of His form was transcendent in all its details; though captivating the soul, it defied description. Beside Him shone forth His lovely brothers, who rode curveting their restive steed. The other princes too displayed the pace of their horses and the family bards recited the glories of their line. Even the king of birds, Garuda, blushed for shame to note the speed of the steed that Rama bestrode; it was charming beyond description in everyway; it seemed as though Cupid himself had taken the form of horse.

When Rama was installed on the seat reserved for Him, lights were waved round Him and everyone rejoiced to behold the bridegroom, scattering about Him gems and raiments and ornaments in profusion; while women sang festal songs. Brahma and the other great gods witnessed the spectacle disguised as Brahmanas; and as they gazed on the beauty of Sri Rama, who delighted Raghu's race even as the sun brings joy to the lotuses, they regarded this privilege as the fulfilment of their life.

Each member of the bridegroom's party found in his own apartment all the enjoyments of heaven ready at hand in everyway. No one, however, had an inkling of the mystery behind this untold splendour; everyone sang Janaka's praises. Rama alone recognized Sita's influence and was glad at heart to discern Her love . When the two brothers heard of their father's arrival, they could not contain themselves for joy, but were too modest to speak to their Guru, though their heart longed to see their sire. Visvamitra felt much gratified at heart to perceive this great humility. In his joy he pressed the two brothers to his bosom; a thrill ran through his limbs, while tears rushed to his eyes. They proceeded to the guests' apartments, where King Dasaratha was, as though a lake sought to visit a thirsty soul.

They all had moon-like faces, and eyes like those of a gazelle; by the elegance of their form they robbed Rati (Love's consort) of all self-conceit. Attired in costly garments of various colours they had adorned their person with all kinds of ornaments. They had further beautified all their limbs with auspicious materials, and sang melodies that put to shame even a female cuckoo. Bracelets, small bells round their waistband as well as anklets made a jingling sound as they moved and even Love's elephants blushed for shame to see their gait. All kinds of music played and there were rejoicing both in the heavens and in the city. Saci (Indra's consort), Sarada, Rama, Bhavani and other goddesses, who were pure-hearted and clever by nature, assumed the disguise of lovely women and joined the royal gynaeceum. They sang festal songs in a melodious voice; and as everyone was overcome with joy no one could recognize them.

The king prostrated himself before the sage, placing the dust of the latter's feet on his head again and again. Kausika pressed the king to his bosom, blessed him and inquired after his welfare. When King Dasaratha saw the two brothers prostrating themselves, he could not contain himself for joy. Pressing the boys to his bosom he allayed the unbearable pangs of separation and looked like a dead body restored to life. Rama and Laksmana then bowed their head at Vasistha's feet and the great sage embraced them in the ecstasy of love. The two brothers next saluted all the Brahmanas and in turn received their welcome blessings. Bharata and his younger half-brother (Satrughna) greeted Rama, who lifted them and embraced them. Laksmana rejoiced to see the two brothers (Bharata and Satrughna) and as he embraced them his limbs were throbbing with emotion.

The gods perceived that it was a fit occasion for happy rejoicings; hence they rained down flowers and beat their drums. Siva, Brahma and hosts of other gods mounted aerial cars in several groups. Their frames thrilling over with emotion and their hearts overflowing with joy they proceeded to witness Sri Rama's wedding. The gods felt so enraptured to see Janaka's capital that their own realms appeared to them as of small account. They gazed with amazement at the wonderful pavilion and all the different works of art which were of a transcendental character. The people of the city, both men and women, were so many mines of beauty, well-formed, pious, amiable and wise. In their presence all the gods and goddesses appeared like stars in a moonlit night. The Creator (Brahma) was astounded above all; for nowhere did he find his own handiwork.

Even Sarada is unable to describe the noble steed on which Sri Rama rode. Sankara (who has five faces, with three eyes each) was enamoured of Sri Rama's beauty and congratulated himself on His possessing as many as fifteen eyes. When Sri Hari (Visnu) fondly gazed on Rama, both Rama and Her lord were equally enchanted. (The four-faced) Brahma too was delighted to behold Sri Rama's beauty; but he felt sorry to think that he had only eight eyes. The generalissimo of the heavenly host (the six-faced Kartikeya) exulted over the fact of his possessing half as many eyes again as Brahma. When the wise lord of celestials gazed on Sri Rama (with his thousand eyes), he thought Gautama's curse as the greatest blessing. All the gods envied Indra and observed, "No one can vie with Purandara (Indra) today." The whole host of heavenly beings rejoiced to behold Sri Rama and there was joy beyond measure in the court of both the monarchs.

Having observed every custom that derived its authority from the Vedas or from popular tradition the two kings Janaka and Dasaratha, embraced each other with great love. The two monarchs while embracing each other presented a glorious spectacle; poets made repeated efforts to find a suitable analogy but felt abashed at their failure. Finding no comparison anywhere, they felt baffled and concluded that the pair could be likened to themselves alone. The gods were enraptured to see the tie of love between the two kings united by marriage alliance; raining down flowers they began to sing the glories of both. "Ever since Brahma created the world, we have witnessed and heard of many a marriage; but it is only today that we have seen the pomp and grandeur on both sides so well-balanced in every respect and the fathers of the bride and the bridegroom so well-matched." Hearing the above voice from heaven, which was so charming yet so true, there was a flood of transcendent love on both sides. Unrolling beautiful carpets on the way and offering water to wash his hands with, Janaka himself conducted Dasaratha to the pavilion with all honour.

Restraining her tears out of regard for the auspicious occasion, Queen Sunayana performed the ceremony of waving lights with a gladdened heart, and duly completed all the rites prescribed by the Vedas as well as by family usage. The five kinds of music* were being played, accompanied by five varieties of other sounds– and festal songs; carpets of different sorts were spread on the way. After waving lights the queen offered water to Sri Rama for washing His hands with and the latter then proceeded to the pavilion. Dasaratha shone in all his glory with his followers; his magnificence put to shame the guardians of the different worlds. From time to time the gods rained down flowers; and the Brahmanas recited propitiatory texts appropriate to the occasion. There was such a great uproar in the heavens as well as in the city that no one could hear one's own words, much less of others. In this way Sri Rama entered the pavilion; after offering Him water to wash His hands with, He was conducted to His seat.
