ìNow, my dear son, devise some means whereby I may behold with my own eyes
the tender swarthy limbs of my Lord.î Then Hanumån returned to ›r∂ Råma and apprised
Him of S∂tåís welfare. On hearing Her tidings the Ornament of the solar race called
Prince A∆gada and Vibh∂aƒa. ìBoth of you accompany the son of the wind-god and
respectfully escort Janakaís Daughter here.î Forthwith all went to the place where S∂tå
was and found a whole host demonesses waiting on Her in all humility. Vibh∂aƒa gave
prompt instructions to the demonesses, who washed Her body in all possible ways.
They also decked Her with ornaments of every description and then brought a beautiful
palanquin duly equipped. Videhaís Daughter gladly mounted it with Her thoughts fixed on
the all-blissful Råma, Her loving lord. Guards marched on all four sides, staves in hand;
they were all supremely delighted at heart. The bears and monkeys all came to have a
look at Her; but the guards darted in a fury to keep them back. Said the Hero of Raghuís
line, ìFollow my advice, Vibh∂aƒa and bring S∂tå on foot.î ìLet the monkeys gaze on Her
as they would on their own mother,î smilingly added the Almighty Lord of the Raghus.
The bears and monkeys rejoiced to hear the Lordís words, while from the heavens the
gods rained down flowers in profusion. S∂tå (it will be remembered) had been previously
lodged in fire (vide Araƒyak僌a XXIII. 1-2); ›r∂ Råma (the inner Witness of all) now
sought to bring Her back to light. (1ó7)

It was for this reason that the All-merciful addressed some reproachful words to
Her. On hearing them the demon ladies (who had accompanied Her) all began to
lament. (108)
