Ýr¶ RŒma walked in front while Lakƒma˜a followed in the rear, both conspicuous in the robes of ascetics. Between the two S¶tŒ shone like MŒyŒ (the Divine Energy) that stands between Brahma (God), on the one hand, and the individual soul on the other. To illustrate Her beauty as it exists in my mind in another way, She looked like Rati (the wife of the god of love) shining between Madhu (the spirit presiding over the vernal season) and the god of love. Beating my brains for another illustration, let me say She shone like Rohi˜¶* between Budha † and the moon-god. S¶tŒ trod on the path with meticulous care planting Her feet in the space between Her lord’s footprints. Avoiding the footprints both of S¶tŒ and RŒma, Lakƒma˜a traversed the road always keeping them to his right. The ideal affection of Ýr¶ RŒma, Lakƒma˜a and S¶tŒ was past telling; how can one describe it? Even birds and beasts were enraptured to behold their beauty; their hearts were stolen by RŒma, the wayfarer. (1—4)
