The bow of ›a∆kara was the bark and Råmaís strength of arm was the ocean to
be crossed with its aid. The whole host (of which we have spoken above), that had
boarded the ship out of ignorance, was drowned (with the bark). (261)

The Lord tossed on ground the two broken pieces of the bow, and everyone
rejoiced at the sight. Vi‹våmitra stood as the holy ocean, full of the sweet and
unfathomable water of love. Beholding ›r∂ Råmaís beauty, which represented the full
moon, the sage felt an increasing thrill of joy, which may be compared to a rising tide in
the ocean. Kettledrums sounded with great noise in the heavens; celestial damsels sang
and danced. Brahmå and the other gods, Siddhas and great sages praised the Lord and
gave Him blessings raining down wreaths and flowers of various colours; the Kinnaras
(a class of demigods) sang melodious strains. The shouts of victory re-echoed throughout
the universe; the crash that followed the breaking of the bow was drowned in it.
Everywhere men and women in their joy kept saying that Råma had broken the massive
bow of ›ambhu. (1ó4)

Talented bards, minstrels and panegyrists sang praises; and everybody gave
away horses, elephants, riches, jewels and raiments as an act of invocation of Godís
blessings on the youthful champion. (262)
