Guha was immensely gratified to hear these words; he fell at the Lordís feet, his eyes full of
tears. Enshrining an image of His lotus feet in his heart he returned home and told his
kinsmen of the Lordís amiable disposition. Witnessing the doings of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of

installation to the throne brought joy to all the three spheres and ended all their sorrows. No
one bore enmity to another; ›r∂ Råmaís glory had obliterated all disharmony. (1ó4)

In the whole of ›r∂ Råmaís dominions there was none who suffered from affliction
of any kindówhether of the body, or proceeding from divine or supernatural agencies or
that caused by another living being. All men loved one another : each followed oneís
