Who can describe the glory of PrayŒga, a lion as it were for the herd of elephants in the shape of sins? The Chief of Raghu’s race, who is an ocean of bliss, was filled with delight to see this glorious king of holy places. With His own gracious lips He told S¶tŒ, Lakƒma˜a and His friend (Guha) the greatness of PrayŒga. Making obeisance to this holy place He cast a look round the groves and gardens and expatiated on its glory with the utmost devotion. In this way he arrived at and saw the confluence of the Ga˘gŒ and YamunŒ, the very thought of which bestows all choice blessings. After bathing in the 446 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* confluence He gladly adored Lord Ýiva and worshipped the deities presiding over the holy PrayŒga according to the prescribed ritual. The Lord then called on BharadvŒja; and the sage clasped Him to his bosom as He fell prostrate before him. The joy that the sage felt within his heart cannot be described in words; it looked as if he had found the bliss of oneness with Brahma incarnate. (1—4)
