## The Twenty-Fifth Canto

**26.** A son, whose brilliance resembled the heart of a full-blown blue lotus, who floated in a sea of radiance, and who was adorned with many auspicious marks, was born to Lakshmana and his wife. His parents named him Lakshmana.

**27-28.** The two boys were exceedingly beautiful. Their lips were red like coral, their hands and feet were the color of red lotuses, and their movements were captivating. Their touch was as soft as butter, and they possessed a natural fragrance. Playing their childish games, they stole the hearts of all who saw them.

**29.** Anointed with sandalwood paste and adorned with saffron tilak on their foreheads, they resembled mountains of silver, infused with the essence of gold.

**30.** Bound by the love that had grown over countless lifetimes, they were each other's inheritors. They were cherished by all their relatives within the palace.

**31.** When they spoke, it was as if they were vomiting nectar. When they looked at someone, it was as if they were anointing the world with a blissful ointment.

**32.** When they were called, they seemed to tear through poverty itself. They satisfied the hearts of all, according to their own desires.

**33.** Their very presence seemed to bring blessings and prosperity. Protected by their guardians, the two princes roamed the city, enjoying their carefree games.

**34.** Just as Vijaya and Triprishtha, the names of Balabhadra and Narayana, had been given before, so too were these two princes endowed with similar qualities.

**35.** Later, Kekaya gave birth to a son, whose form was divine and who was destined for great fortune. He was named Bharata in the world.

**36.** Subsequently, Supribha gave birth to a beautiful son, whose fame as Shatrughna still echoes throughout the world.

**37.** Aparajita named her son Bala, after the lotus, and Sumitra, with great desire, named her son Hari.

**38.** Kekaya, seeing that the name Bharata was associated with the universal emperor, declared her son to be half-emperor.

**39.** Supribha, hearing the name Chakravarti (emperor), declared that her son was worthy of the name Shatrughna.
