Description
From the time, O king of the birds, (continues Kakabhusundi,) the most dazzling sun of Sri Rama's glory appeared on the horizon the three spheres were all flooded with light, which brought delight to many and sorrow to many others . First I enumerate at length those to whom it caused sorrow. To begin with, the night of ignorance terminated; the owl-like sins hid themselves wherever they could; the white lily in the shape of lust and anger closed. Cakora birds in the shape of activities of various kinds, the phenomenal existence, Time and Nature never rejoiced; thieves like jealousy, pride, infatuation and arrogance had no occasion to display their skill in any quarter; lotuses of every description in the shape of knowledge and realization opened in the pond of piety. Happiness, contentment, dispassion and discernment, like so many Cakravaka birds, were rid of sorrow.
