He did reverence to the sage’s lotus feet, and with his permission retired to rest. At the close of night, Raghunatha awoke, and looking towards his brother, thus began to say:

‘See, brother, the day has dawned to the delight of the lotus, the chakava and all the world’. With folded hands Lakshmana gently spoke the following words, meant to reveal the glory of the Lord:

‘At dawn of day, the lily has faded and the brilliance of the stars is dimmed, just as the news of your arrival the kings (assembled here) have grown faint.

The kings are all bright like stars, but they are unable to dispel the deep darkness of the bow. And just as lotuses and bees and chakava and various other birds rejoice over the termination of night,

-even so, my Lord, will all your devotees be glad when the bow is broken. Lo, the sun is up and the darkness is easily dispelled; the stars have vanished out of sight and light flashes upon the world.

Under the pretence of its rising, O lord of Raghus, the sun has demonstrated to all the kings your mighty power. It is to reveal the might of your arms that breaking of the bow has been ordained.’

The Lord smiled at these words of his brother. He whois by nature pure then performed the daily rites of purification and bathed, and after observing his daily routine of prayer, etc., called on his guru and bowed his graceful head before his lotus feet.
