The Seventh Chapter
Sumali, Malyaavan, Suryaraj, Riksharaj and Ratnashrava embraced them again and again out of affection. ||369|| They all, surrounded by their relatives and servants, who had all the desired wealth, ate together. ||370|| Then Dashaanan worshipped the gurus by giving them clothes and other things, and also honored the servants as per their worth. ||371|| The gurus, whose eyes were filled with joy, were reassured. They asked them, "O sons, have you all been well for so many days?" ||372|| Then Dashaanan and the other princes, joining their hands and bowing their heads, said, "By your grace, we are all well." ||373|| Then, in the course of the conversation, the death of Mali was mentioned, and Sumali was so grief-stricken that he fainted immediately. ||374|| Then Dashaanan, the eldest son of Ratnashrava, touched him with his cool hand and brought him back to consciousness. ||375|| He also cheered him up with words as cool as ice and as powerful as the sprouting of seeds that would destroy all enemies. ||376|| Seeing Dashaanan, whose eyes were like lotuses, Sumali immediately forgot his grief and was filled with joy again. ||377|| He then spoke to Dashaanan with heartfelt words, "O son, your noble character is truly pleasing to the gods. ||378|| O, your radiance surpasses the sun. Your dignity surpasses the ocean. ||379|| O, your prowess, combined with your beauty, is unmatched. O son, you are a special jewel of the Rakshasa clan. ||380|| Just as Jambudvipa is adorned by Mount Sumeru, and the sky is adorned by the moon and the sun, so too is this Rakshasa clan adorned by you, O son, whose actions are a wonder to the world. ||381-382|| Your ancestors, like Meghavahan, ruled Lanka and then attained liberation after performing austerities. ||383||
