From the city of Ayodhya the beautiful bridegroom has come to Janakpur. Beholding his beauty, which captivates even Madana, I have drawn it deep within my heart. Peerless is the wedding crown upon his head, his ornaments, and his yellow garment. His curls hang loose, his brows are a bow, and his lotus eyes are arrows. Women come bearing golden platters, fully prepared to perform parichhan. Queen Sunaina circles the arati, slowly casting her loving enchantment over him. Ascetics strive and strive, yet Hari never comes under their control; but Harinath says that a loving devotee brings him wholly under love's command.
Pada 40
Look—the sons of Dasharatha approach as bridegrooms, splendid among their playful, charming companions. Their mounts advance in magnificent array; the elephants come on with a soft and stately tread. Maces, standards, parasols, fly-whisks, fans, and other emblems are carried in hand, while many bards and panegyrists sing their noble fame. Blessed indeed is the fortune of every resident of Mithila: beholding them, each offers body, mind, and wealth again and again. This alone is Madhupanjali's longing—to go and behold Sri Sita; this alone is the happiness that she cherishes.
The fivefold instruments resounded with auspicious song; cloth runners of many kinds were spread upon the path. After performing arati, they offered him the welcoming gift; then Rama proceeded to the wedding pavilion.
