Gita Press English

Again he paid divine honours to the King of AyodhyŒ, taking him to be the peer of Ýiva and none other; and mentioning how his fortune and rank had been enhanced through relation with King DaÜaratha, he made humble supplication to the latter and extolled him with joined palms. King Janaka worshipped all the members of the bridegroom’s party with the same honour in every respect as he had paid to the bridegroom’s father, and assigned appropriate seats to them all. How am I to describe with my one tongue the warmth of his feeling? Janaka honoured the whole bridegroom’s party with gifts, polite behaviour, supplication and sweet words. BrahmŒ, Hari, Hara, the guardians of the eight quarters of the world* and the sun-god, all of whom had knowledge (2) Agni (fire-god), of the south-east; (3) Yama (the god dispensing the fruit of one’s good or evil actions), of the of Ýr¶ RŒma’s glory, disguised themselves as noble BrŒhma˜as and witnessed the spectacle with great delight. Janaka worshipped them as on a par with gods and, though he recognized them not, assigned them exalted seats. (1—4)
