That day He halted under a tree; Lakƒma˜a and His friend (Guha) provided for all His comforts. At dawn the Lord of Raghus performed His morning duties and then the Lord proceeded further and visited PrayŒga, the king of holy places. This king has Truth for his minister, Piety for his beloved consort and a beneficent friend like BindumŒdhava (the Deity presiding over PrayŒga). His treasury is replete with the four prizes of human life, while the sacred region surrounding the confluence of the Ga˘gŒ and the YamunŒ marks his most beautiful dominion. The holy PrayŒga represents his inaccessible, strong and lovely fortress that no enemy has ever dreamt of possessing. All the sacred spots are his chosen and valiant warriors, who are staunch in battle and capable of crushing the host of sins. The confluence of the Ga˘gŒ and YamunŒ constitutes his exquisite throne, while the immortal banyan tree (known by the name of Akƒayava¢a) represents his royal umbrella, which captivates the heart even of sages. The waves of the Ga˘gŒ and YamunŒ constitute his chowries, whose very sight destroys sorrow and want. (1—4)
