aryameghaḥ, Raghuvamsa 17, 87. These wonderful clouds
aścharyameghas alone could rain also a rain of gold from
heaven. The golden rain from heaven in the treasury
of Raghu, narrated by the wondering treasurers of the
emperor that came running to report it, is probably
the most wondrous of the wonder clouds themselves :
hiranmayim kośagrihasya madhye vrishtim śaśamsuḥ
patitām nabhastaḥ, Raghuvamsa, 5,92. For Kautsa, sup-
plicant brilliant pupil of Varatantu, who had come to
Raghu for the impossible fee to be paid to his master
in gold, which he also felt almost impossible, specially
in the circumstances in which Raghu was placed, after
he had given away the entire wealth of the world in the

Dhanyalakshmi is the goddess of corn and plenty in
food.
Food itself has been conceived as the supreme
