The preceptor assigned these names after careful thought and then said, "Your 196 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* four sons, O king, are the essence of Veda itself. Of them Ýr¶ RŒma is the sages’ treasure, the devotee’s all in all and Ýiva’s very life; He takes delight at present in the rapture of childish sports”. From his earliest days Lakƒma˜a came to look upon Ýr¶ RŒma as his benefactor and master and conceived devotion to His feet. The love that existed between the two half-brothers, Bharata and Ýatrughna, was as glorious as that which obtains between a master and his servant. As the mothers gazed on the beauty of the two lovely pairs, one of whom was dark, the other fair, they would break a blade of grass in order to avert the evil eye. Although all the four brothers were embodiments of amiability, beauty and goodness, yet Ýr¶ RŒma was an ocean of bliss par excellence. In His heart shone the moon of grace and His captivating smile represented its rays. Now on her lap and now in the beautiful cradle, the mother fondled Him calling Him her own darling. (1—4)
