“By the grace of God and through your blessing my sons and daughters-in-law are all pure as the water of the celestial stream (Ga˘gŒ). Although I have never sworn by RŒma, I now swear by him and tell you in good faith, my friend, that in extolling Bharata’s amiability, goodness, modesty, loftiness of character, brotherly affection, devotion, faith and nobility the wit of even ÝŒradŒ (the goddess of speech) falters. Can the ocean be ladled out by means of an oyster-shell? I have always known Bharata to be the glory of his house and the king repeatedly told me so. Gold is tested by rubbing on the touchstone, and a precious stone on reaching the hands of an expert jeweller; while men are tested in times of emergency by their innate disposition. It was wrong on my part today to have spoken thus; but you know sorrow and affection leave one little reason.” On hearing these words, pure as the water of the celestial river, all the queens were overwhelmed with affection.
