It was inhabited by graceful men and women, whom you would take to be so many incarnations of the god of love and his wife Rati. A king, ݶlanidhi by name, ruled over that city; he owned numberless horses, elephants and troops. He possessed the grandeur and luxury of a hundred Indras, and was a repository of grace, splendour, might and wisdom. He had a daughter, ViÜvamohin¶ by name, whose beauty enraptured even Lakƒm¶. She was no other than Ýr¶ Hari’s own MŒyŒ (enrapturing potency), the fountainhead of all virtues; who can describe her charm? The princess was going to marry by self-choice; hence kings beyond number arrived there as suitors. The sportive 136 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* sage (NŒrada) entered the city and inquired everything from the people. Hearing all that had been going on there, he wended his way to the king’s palace. The king paid him homage and gave him a seat. (1—4)
