The city was full of flags and banners and festal arches. It was decorated in a way
which defies description. Showers of flowers dropped from heaven; everybody was rapt
in the joy of absorption into Brahma. Women streamed forth in troops; they came running
in their natural toilet. Carrying jars of gold and salvers full of auspicious articles, they
entered the portals of the royal palace singing as they went along. Waving lights and
passing offerings round and round over the child's head as an act of exorcism they threw
themselves at the babe's feet again and again. Bards, minstrels, panegyrists and
songsters chanted solemn praises of the Lord of Raghus. Everyone gave whatever one
possessed; even he who received did not retain it. All the lanes of the city were muddy
with pastes of musk, sandal and saffron. (1ó4)
