to the men and women of the city, who enjoy the affection of the Lord in no small degree.
Even though they were damned as a result of the heap of sins incurred by the
calumniators of S∂tå (who were instrumental in bringing about Her lifelong exile), they
were lodged in a heavenly abode, having been divested of sorrow. I greet Kausalyå (the
eldest queen of king Da‹aratha) whose glory stands diffused throughout the world. She
is the eastern horizon whence arose the lovely moon in the shape of the Lord of Raghus,
who affords delight to the entire universe and is blighting as frost to lotuses in the form
of the wicked. Recognizing king Da‹aratha together with all his consorts as incarnations
of merit and fair blessings, I make obeisance to them in thought, word and deed. Knowing
me as a servant of your son, be gracious to me. The father and mothers of ›r∂ Råma
are the very perfection of glory, by creating whom even Brahmå (the Creator) has
exalted himself. (1ó4)

I adore the king of Ayodhyå, who cherished such true love for the feet of ›r∂ Råma
that he gave up his dear life as a mere straw the moment the Lord, who is compassionate
to the poor, parted from him. (16)
