is celestial theme, the
lotus-eyed Rāma along with his brothers was greatly surprised. And
having their eyes expanded with delight the monkeys, with Sugriva, the
Rākshasas with Bibhishana, the kings with their councillors, and all
other assembled pious Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras,
delightedly espied Rāma. Thereupon the highly effulgent Agastya said to
Rāma:—"O Rāma, we have all seen thee and been honoured; now we shall
depart." Saying this, they, being honored, repaired to their respective
habitations. The sun set, Rāma, the foremost of men, gave farewell to
monkeys and their king and duly went through the Sandhya rite. Gradually
night set in and he entered the inner appartment.
SECTION XLVII.
Kakutstha, knowing himself, being thus duly installed, the first night,
enhancing the delight of the citizens, was spent. At dawn, the
prisoners, to wake up the king, arrived at the palace. And those
songsters, well trained and having a musical voice like the Kinnaras,
began to eulogize the heroic king, to the increase of his joy. "Awake, O
gentle hero, increasing Kausalyā’s joy, O foremost of men. Thyself being
asleep the whole universe will be laid up with sleep. In prowess thou
art like Vishnu, in beauty thou art like two Aswins, in intellect thou
art like Vrihaspati and in the capacity of governing thou art like the
Patriarch Brahmā. Thy patience equals that of earth, thy effulgence
equals that of the sun, thy velocity equals the wind and thy gravity
resembles the deep. Thou art stable like a stake, gentle like the moon.
No king like thee had flourished before—no other shall follow. O
foremost of men, thou art irrepressible, ever pious and engaged in
bringing about welfare unto thy subjects. Fame and wealth shall never
renounce thee. O Kākutstha, in thee are perpetually stationed grace and
wealth." Thus did the panegyrists eulogise him in various sweet accents
and Rāghava got up. Like unto Hari rising up from the bed of serpents
Rāma, thus eulogized, rose up from his bed covered with a a white
coverlet. Taking white vessels full of water, thousands of well-trained
survitors stood waiting before the high-souled (Rāma). Washing his
mouth, being purified and offering oblation unto fire, he entered the
holy room of the tutelary deity much honored by the Ikshwākus. And there
having worshipped duly the celestials, manes and the Brahmins, he,
encircled by men, came to the outer apartment And there arrived the
leading priests headed by Vasishtha and ministers all resplendant like
unto fire. And there sat around Rāma the Kashatrya kings hailing from
various provinces as the celestials sit encircling their lord Indra. The
illustrious Bharata, Lakshmana and Satrughna began to worship him and he
appeared like a sacrifice conducted by Vedic hymns. And the servants,
with their eyes shut, sat around him. The twenty heroic monkeys headed
by the highly powerful Sugriva also began to worship him. As the
Guhyakas worship Kuvera so Bibhishana, accompanied by four Rākshasas,
waited upon him. All those who were advanced in the study of Vedas, born
in respectable families, and learned, bowed unto the king lowering their
beads. Like unto the celestial-king Indra worshipped by the saints the
king Rāma was being perpetually honored by the effulgent saints, kings,
monkeys, and Rākshasas. He appeared more beautiful than Indra at that
time. And religious themes were recited in that assembly by persons
conversant with the knowledge of Puranas.
SECTION XLVIII.
Thus did the long-armed Rāma spend his days looking into all
administrative works relating to the city and provinces. Some days
having elapsed, he, with folded hands, said to Janaka, the king of
Mithilā, "Thou art our only refuge—we have been reared by thee and by
the help of thy dreadful prowess we have been able to destroy Rāvana. O
king, the relation between the families of Ikshwāku and Mithilā, is
unequalled and delightful. Taking the jewel, do thou proceed to thy own
city and Bharata as a help shall follow thee." Saying "So be it," the
king Janaka bespoke Rāma "O king, I have been delighted with seeing thee
and thy courteous manners. The jewels collected for me, I do confer upon
my two daughters." The royal saint Janaka having gone away, Rāma, with
folded hands and humbly said to his maternal uncle Kaikeya—"O king, this
kingdom, myself, Bharat and Lakshmana are all at thy disposal. The old
king might have been grieved for thy long absence. It therefore behoveth
thee, O king, to go there to-day. With immense wealth and various jewels
let Lakshmana follow thee." Agreeing with his request Yudhājit said, "O
Rāghava, let jewels and wealth be be inexhaustible with thee."
Thereupon, Rāma, at first saluted and went round him and then Yudhājit,
the son of Kekaya, went away to his kingdom in the company of Lakshmana
like unto Indra (leaving for home) in the company of Vishnu on the
destruction of the Asura Vitra. Having bade adieu unto his maternal
uncle Rāma embraced his friend Pratardana, the undaunted king of Kashi
and said:—"Thou hast displayed thy brotherly feelings and delight by
making arrangements for my installation in the company of Bharata. O
king, do thou now leave for thy city Baranushi, highly picturesque,
well-guarded, girt by strong walls on all sides and having
well-decorated gate-ways." Saying this, Rāma, the descendant of
Kākutstha rose up from his seat and embraced him cordially. Having taken
farewell from Rāma enhancing Kausalya’s delight, the king of Kashi, with
his followers, fearlessly and speedily proceeded to his own city. Having
bade adieu to the king of Kashi, Rāma, with a smiling countenance and
sweet accents, said to the three hundred assembled kings: "Being well
protected by your own prowess, you have all displayed your great love
for me. By your piety, truthfulness, sagacity and strength, the
vicious-souled Rāvana hath been slain. Forsooth, I am merely the
instrument in the destruction of Rāvana—he hath been slain by your
strength. Hearing that Sitā, the daughter of Janaka, had been stolen
away from the forest the high-minded Bharata did bring you all—but
fortunately you were not constrained to go through miseries. High-minded
as you are, you were all prepared for this work. Long since you have
come here. I think it better that you should proceed to your respective
habitations." Whereto the kings, greatly delighted, replied: "O Rāma, it
is by thy good fortune that thou hast come off victorious and been
installed on the throne; it is by thy good luck that thou hast got back
Sitā and the enemy Daçānana hath been vanquished. That we behold thee, O
Rāma, victorious and freed from all enemies, is our great benefit and
delight. The encomiums, thou hast showered upon us, are natural with
thee. Thou art Rāma, who always pleases people. Thou art worthy of being
praised but we do not know how to praise thee. With thy permission we
shall now leave for our respective provinces but thou shalt always
reside in our hearts. O thou having long arms, O great king, mayst thou
have that love for us perpetually that we may find place in thy heart."
Whereto Rāma replied saying "So be it." Thereupon the kings, highly
delighted and desirous of going, bade farewell unto Rāma, with folded
palms and being honored by him, left for their respective kingdoms.
SECTION XLIX.
Having agitated the earth with thousands of elephants and horses the
kings proceeded to various quarters. And being prepared to help Rāma
many Akshauhini soldiers with many steeds waited at Ayodhyā at the
command of Bharata. Those kings, proud and powerful, spoke to one
another—"We did not face Rāvana—the enemy of Rāma; Bharata did uselessly
invite us after the destruction of Rāvana. Had they brought us earlier,
we would, forsooth, have slain him. We would have, on the other side of
the ocean, well protected by the prowess of Rāma and Lakshmana, and
freed from all disturbances, fought at pleasure." Being thus delighted,
all those assembled princes proceeded to their respective kingdoms,
dwelling on these and various other topics. And having arrived at their
celebrated cities, unscathed, abounding in delighted people, wealth,
crops and jewels they sent various presents of jems to Rāma for his
satisfaction. Besides this they made over to him innumerable horses,
conveyances, infuriated elephants, sandal, excellent ornamants, jewels,
pearls, corals, beautiful female servants and various cars. And taking
all those jewels, the highly powerful Bharata, Lakshmana and Satrughna
returned to their own city. Having arrived at the picturesque city
Ayodhyā those foremost of men, made presents of various jewels unto
Rāma. Having delightedly accepted those gifts Rāma in return made
presents of them unto the successful king Sugriva, Bibhishana and other
Rākshasas and monkeys by whose help he had achieved victory. And those
highly powerful monkeys and night-rangers wore on their heads and arms
those jewels conferred on them by Rāma. Having placed on his lap the
long-armed Angada and Hanumān, the mighty car-warrior—the lotus-eyed
Rāma said to Sugriva "Angada is thy good son and Hanumān is thy wise
councillor. O Sugriva, these are always engaged in my well-being and in
giving me good counsels. For thee, therefore, O king of monkeys, I
should honor them in various ways." Having said this, the illustrious
Rāma took off from his arms valuable ornaments and adorned Angada and
Hanumān therewith. Thereupon having welcomed and casting loving looks
upon the highly powerful and leading monkeys such as Neela, Kesarin,
Kumuda, Gandhamādana, Sushena, Panasa, Mainda, Dwivida, Jāmbavān,
Gabāksha, Dhumra, Baleemukha, Prajaghna, Saunāda, Dareemukha, Dadbimuka,
Indrajānu and others, he addressed them all in sweet accents,
saying:—"You are all my friends like unto my limbs and brothers. O ye
inhabitants of forests, you have saved me from the ocean of danger.
Blessed is the king Sugriva and blessed are the friends like
yourselves." Saying this Rāma, the foremost of men, conferred upon them
duly many precious clothes and ornaments and embraced them all. The
monkeys lived there all happily feasting on fragrant honey, well-cooked
meat and various fruits and roots. In this way they spent more than a
month—but it appeared to them as a moment on account of their devotion
unto Rāma. He, too also spent his time happily with monkeys assuming
shapes at will, the highly powerful Rākshasas and the mighty bears. In
this way the delighted monkeys and Rākshasas spent the second winter
month. Enjoying delight they thus spent their days happily in the city
of Ayodhyā working to the welfare of Rāma.
