you live long;î and the king placed before them the most auspicious proposal. ìIf this
proposal finds favour with you all, instal ›r∂ Råma on the throne with a cheerful heart.î
The counsellors were glad to hear these agreeable words, which fell like a shower on the
young plant of their desire. The ministers prayed with joined palms: ìMay you continue
to live for millions of years, O sovereign of the world. You have thought out a good plan
which is a source of happiness to the whole world; therefore, lord, make haste and lose
no time.î The king was pleased to hear the encouraging words of the ministers; it looked
as if a growing creeper had obtained the support of a strong bough. (1ó4)

Said the king, ìWhatever orders the great sage Vasi¢ha may be pleased to give
in connection with ›r∂ Råmaís coronation should be promptly carried out.î (5)

The great sage Vasi¢ha gladly said in soft accents, ìFetch water from all principal
sacred places.î And then he enumerated by name a number of auspicious objects such
as herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, leaves, chowries, deerskins, and draperies of various
kinds including countless varieties of woollen and silken textiles, jewels and numerous
other articles of good omen which were considered useful in this world for the coronation
of a king. Detailing all the procedure laid down in the Vedas he said, ìErect canopies of
all sorts in the city and transplant in the streets on all sides trees of the mango, arecanut
and plantain with fruits. Paint beautiful designs on the floors filling them with costly jewels
and tell the people to decorate the bazar promptly. Worship Lord Gaƒe‹a and your
preceptor as well as the tutelary deity and render service in every form to the
Bråhmaƒas, the very gods on earth.î (1ó4)
