When again she looked back, there too she saw the Lord with his brother and Sita in beauteous raiment. Whichever way she turned her eyes, there was the Lord enthroned with the Siddhas (adepts) and learned sages ministering to him.

She saw, too, many a Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, each excelling the rest in boundless majesty. She also saw that all the gods were serving the Lord and bowing at his feet in their different garbs.

Satis, Sarasvatis and Lakshmis she saw, in marvellous multiplicity, each in a form to match the appearance of Brahma and the other gods.

As many Raghunathas as she saw on this side and on that, so many were the forms of all the gods and their wives. She beheld, too, all the creatures, animate and inanimate, the world contains, with their multitudinous species.

The gods in diverse forms were worshipping the Lord; but nowhere did she see the form of Rama other than his own. Many a Raghunatha and Sita she saw, but there was no diversity of form in them.

(She saw) the same Raghunatha, the same Lakshmana, the same Sita. Sati was awe-stricken at the sight; with quivering heart she lost all consciousness of her body; she closed her eyes and sank down on the wayside.

When she looked up again, Daksha’s daughter saw nothing there; again and again bowing her head at Rama’s fee, she returned of the spot where the lord of Kailasa (Shiva) was.
