The king asked the family priest (ÝatŒnanda), “What is the cause of delay now?” ÝatŒnanda then summoned the ministers, who came equipped with all auspicious articles. A number of conches, drums and tabors sounded. Festal vases and articles of good omen (such as curds, turmeric and blades of DµurvŒ grass) were displayed. Graceful women (whose husbands were alive) sang songs, and holy BrŒhma˜as murmured Vedic texts. In this manner they proceeded to invite the bridegroom’s party with due honour and called at the latter’s lodgings. When they witnessed King DaÜaratha’s glory, Indra (the lord of celestials) looked very small to them. “The hour has come; be good enough to start now,” they submitted. At this the drums gave a thundering beat. After consulting his preceptor and going through the family rites King DaÜaratha sallied forth with a host of sages and holy men. (1—4)
