THE RAMAYANA
न
चत्वारस्ते चतसृणां वसिष्ठस्य म
Hearing the words of Janaka, the four
brothers, under Vasishtha's direction, held
the (brides') hand in theirs.
अग्निं प्रदक्षिणीकृत्य वेदिं राजानमेव च ।
ऋषींश्चेव महात्मानः सभार्या रघुसत्तमाः ।
यथोक्तेन तदा चक्रुः विवाहं विधिपूर्वकम् ॥
Going round the fire, the altar and also
the king and the sages, the four high-
souled brothers, the best of the Raghus,
performed their marriages accompanied by
their brides, in accordance with the scrip-
tural injunctions and as directed.
अथ रा
आपृष्ट्वा तौ च राजानौ जगामोत्तरपर्वतम् ॥
Then when the night was past, the great
ascetic Visvamitra took leave of the two
kings (Janaka and Dasaratha) and went to
the northern mountain.
