Râma and Lakshman, by name, these two brothers, as strong as they are good and beautiful, with their companions, protected my sacrifice and vanquished all the demons in battle.”
Said the king: “O saint, when I behold your feet I cannot tell how nobly I am rewarded for any former good deeds. And these pretty twins have conferred a happiness upon you, the supremely happy. Their innocent mutual affection is indescribable in words; a delight to the inmost soul.

Then with courteous phrase and bowed head he escorted the saint to the city and there assigned him apartments, which were bright and cheerful at all times of the day; and finally, after further homage and proffers of service, the king took his leave and returned to the palace.
