The Lord of Raghus led the way, accompanied by His younger brothers, the
minister (Sumantra), the Guru (Vasi¢ha) and the citizens. The moment the lord of
Janakas* espied the great hill of Kåmadanåtha he made obeisance to it and dismounted
from his car. Seized as they were with a longing and eagerness to see ›r∂ Råma, none
of the party felt the least toil or hardship of the journey. For their mind was with the Chief
of Raghus and Vaideh∂ (Janakaís Daughter); and when the mind is elsewhere, who will
feel the bodily pain or pleasure? In this way Janaka came advancing with his party, their
mind intoxicated with love. When the two parties drew near and saw one another they
were overwhelmed with love and began to exchange greetings with due respect. King
Janaka proceeded to adore the feet of the hermits (who hailed from Ayodhyå); while ›r∂
Råma, the Delighter of Raghus, made obeisance to the sages (who accompanied
Janaka). ›r∂ Råma and His younger brothers then greeted the king (their father-in-law)
and led him with the whole party (to His hermitage). (1ó4)

›r∂ Råmaís hermitage was an ocean as it were overflowing with the sacred water
of quietism; while the host that accompanied Janaka was as it were a river of pathos,
which the Lord of Raghus was now conducting (to the ocean of His hermitage). (275)

* Just like ëVidehaí,íJanakaí too was a title enjoyed by all the descendants of King Nimi. Hence the
king of Mithilå has been referred to here as the ìlord of Janakasî.
