Rāma, agora enriquecido pelo conhecimento e abundante em bravura, brilhou como o sol de mil raios no outono. Tendo cumprido devidamente todos os serviços devidos ao filho de Kuśika, os três passaram aquela noite ali, à margem do Sarayū, em grande conforto.
.Rama, the highly heroic after acquiring knowledge (of the two sciences) and having rendered all services to preceptor Viswamitra, appeared resplendent like the Sun-god in autumn. There the three of them spent the night comfortably on the bank of Sarayu.
FAQs
