Lakshman spoke with folded hands “Oh! Prabho, the sunlight has arrived and put the lilies to fade away, the brightness of the stars disappeared from the sight, as the news of your arrival in the Mithila to participate in the Dhanuryaga pushed the Kings of the neighborhood into despair. Oh! Prabho, the Kings arrived to participate in the Dhanushyajja is like the stars, who cannot lift the heavy bow of Lord Shiva. The birds, Chakora, cuckoo, lotus flowers, and all the living beings rejoicing the arrival of sunlight. Oh! Prabho, I am certain that all your devotees would be delighted to witness your vigor in the grand assembly while lifting the powerful bow of Lord Shiva and bend it. Oh! Prabho, the sun is spreading its brilliant rays all over the Earth, the darkness has disappeared completely Oh! Prabho, you resemble the sun of the illustrious Raghu clan, spread brilliance and joy to the world. Oh! Lord of Raghu, you have to prove the might of your arms, by lifting and bending the powerful bow of Lord Shiva.” Lord Rama affectionately smiled at his brother, both of them went to perform the morning ablutions, customary rites, worship of the deities, and arrived to meet the preceptor and prostrated before him.
