47 - Sri Rama's entry into the pavilion erected for the Bow-Sacrifice along- with Laksmana
Chaupais
Description
The wise saw the Lord in His cosmic form, with many faces, hands, feet, eyes and heads. And how did He appear to Janaka's kinsmen? Like one's own beloved relation. The queen, no less than the king, regarded Him with unspeakable love like a dear child. To the Yogis (those ever united with God) He shone forth as no other than the highest truth, placid, unsullied, equipoised, and resplendent by its very nature. The devotees of Sri Hari beheld the two brothers as their beloved deity, the fountain of all joy. The emotion of love and joy with which Sita gazed on Sri Rama was ineffable. She felt the emotion in Her breast, but could not utter it; how, then, can a poet describe it? In this way everyone regarded the Lord of Ayodhya according to the attitude of mind each had towards Him.
