Having beheld the Chief of Raghu’s line those who had eyes attained the end of their life and were rid of sorrow; whereas inanimate objects rejoiced at the touch of the very dust of His feet and became eligible for attaining the highest state (blessedness). The forest and hill where that Ocean of Bliss (Ýr¶ RŒma) took up His abode were naturally lovely; auspicious and the holiest of the holy; how could it be possible to glorify them ? The exquisite beauty of the forest where S¶tŒ, Lakƒma˜a and Ýr¶ RŒma came and settled, taking leave of the ocean of milk and bidding adieu to AyodhyŒ, could not be described even by a hundred thousand Ýeƒas (each with a thousand pairs of tongues). How, then, can I describe it at some length any more than a tortoise living in a puddle can lift Mount Mandara? Lakƒma˜a waited upon Ýr¶ RŒma in thought, word and deed with an amiability and devotion more than one could tell. (1—4)
