Taking with him his ministers and many gallant fighting men and noble Brâhmans and the chief of his kinsmen, in this fashion the king went forth rejoicing, to meet the prince of sages.
Bowing to the ground, he made obeisance, and the saint gladly gave him his blessing. Then the king respectfully saluted all the hermit train and congratulated himself on his good fortune. After making many enquiries as to his health and welfare, Visvamitra led the king to a seat, and at that very time arrived the two brothers who had gone to see the garden, one dark, the other fair, in childhood’s tender bloom, the joy of all beholders, ravishing the senses of the whole world. When Raghupati came, all rose and Visvamitra seated him by his side. All were charmed at the sight of the two brothers; their eyes filled with tears and their body thrilled with rapture, and the king especially was beside himself with joy on beholding their sweet and lovely appearance.
