When her companions observed what a state she was in, her body all in a tremble and her eyes full of tears, they asked in gentle tones:—“Declare the cause of this rapture.”
“There have come to see the garden two princes, of tender age and charming in every way; one dark of hue, the other fair, but how can I describe them? Voice is sightless and eyes are dumb.” All the damsels were delighted at her speech, and perceiving the intense longing in Sita’s bosom, one of them exclaimed:—“My dear, they must be the king’s sons, who, as I hear, arrived yesterday with the saint, who completely fascinated with their beauty and stole away the hearts of all the women in the city. Every one is talking of their loveliness; we really must see them; they are worth seeing.” These words were most grateful to Sita, whose eyes were restless with longing. With her kind friend to lead the way, she followed, nor did any one know that it was an old love.
