Ramayana_VOLUME V with index

Janaka
heavenly residence, right on the bank of the Sarayu River. Rama
had deputed his brothers to receive and render hospitality to the
Royal guests.
Rama fell at the feet of Janaka and rising, sat by his side, Janaka
was overwhelmed by the joy that welled within him. He stroked
Rama’s head and accosted him softly and sweetly. Rama too
replied expressing similar sentiments infelicitous language. He
assigned helps and aides to look after the comforts of Janaka and
his entourage. He directed Bharatha to be at the service of the
Emperor. (RKRV Part II p.315-318)
Rama introduces his sons to Janaka:
Rama honoured Emperor Janaka as befitted his status and took
the sons to his presence. He was immensely delighted when he
saw his grandsons. Since Janaka was replete with wisdom, and
since he was aware through his divine insight of the Divinity of
Sita, he did not exhibit any surprise or wonder, anxiety or worry,
over what had happened. His mind was unaffected because he
knew that what had to happen had happened. His attitude was
also not affected to the slightest extent by the incidents that took
place. Janaka left for Mithila City filled with unbounded joy.
(RKRV Part II p.333)
