watches of the beautiful night passed. The chief of the sages, Vi‹våmitra, then retired to
his bed; and the two brothers began to rub his feet. The couple whose lotus feet are
sought by men of dispassion muttering various sacred formulae and practising different
kinds of Yoga (means of union with God) lovingly rubbed the lotus-like feet of their Guru,
conquered as it were by his love. When the sage asked Him again and again, the Chief
of Raghuís race went to bed only then. Lakmaƒa pressed the Lordís feet to his bosom
and caressed them with reverence and love deriving supreme joy from this service. It
was only when the Lord repeatedly said, ëëRetire now, my brother,î that he laid himself
down cherishing his Brotherís lotus feet in his heart. (1ó4)

Towards the close of night, at the sound of cook-crow, got up Lakmaƒa. The Lord
of the universe, the all-wise ›r∂ Råma, also woke before His preceptor. (226)

Having performed all the customary acts of purification, they went and finished
their ablutions; and having gone through their daily routine of devotions etc., they
bowed before the sage. When the time came, the two brothers took leave of the
preceptor and went out to gather flowers. Having gone out they saw the lovely royal
garden, enamoured of whose beauty the vernal season had taken its permanent abode
there. It was planted with charming trees of various kinds and overhung with beautiful
creepers of different colours. Rich in fresh leaf, fruit and flower they put to shame even
celestial trees by their wealth. The feathered choir of the Cåtakas, cuckoos, parrots and
Cakoras warbled and peacocks beautifully danced. In the centre of the garden a lovely
lake shone bright with flights of steps made of many-coloured gems. Its limpid water
