गडमिश्रित पूड़ियाँ, वस्त्र, अलंकार, मालाएं, लेपन आदिकी सामग्री, नानाप्रकारके बर्तन और हाथ धोनेका सामान, यह सब सामग्री निकटवर्ती शीघ्रगामी पुरुष भेजकर उसने अपने पास मंगवा ली ॥१३-१६।। तदनन्तर उसकी आज्ञा पाकर अन्तरंग द्वारपाल वहाँ गया जहां सीता सहित राम विराजमान थे, सो उन्हें प्रणाम कर वह इस प्रकार बोला ||१७|| कि हे देव ! उस तम्बमें आपके भाई विराजमान हैं वहीं इस नगरका राजा भी विद्यमान है सो वह आदरके साथ प्रार्थना करता है कि चूंकि इस तम्बूको छाया शीतल तथा मनको हरण करनेवाली है इसलिए प्रसन्न होइए और इतना मार्ग स्वेच्छासे चलकर आप यहाँ पधारिए ॥१८-१९|| प्रतिहारीके इतना कहने पर मत्त हाथीकी शोभाको धारण करते हुए रामचन्द्र सीताके साथ कल पड़े उस समय वे ऐसे जान पड़ते थे मानो चांदनीके सहित चन्द्रमा ही हों ॥२०॥ रामको दूरसे ही आते देख राजकुमारने लक्ष्मणके साथ खड़े होकर तथा कुछ आगे जाकर उनका स्वागत किया ||२१|| राम सीताके साथ अत्यन्त उत्कृष्ट आसन पर विराजमान हए तथा राजकुमारके द्वारा प्रदत्त अघंदान आदि सम्मानको प्राप्त हए ।।२२।। तदनन्तर इच्छानुसार स्नान, भोजन आदि समस्त कार्य समाप्त होनेपर राजकुमारने अन्य सब लोगोंको दूर कर दिया। वहाँ राम, लक्ष्मण, सीता तीन और चौथा राजकुमार ये ही चार व्यक्ति रह गये ।।२३। 'मेरे पिताके पाससे दूत आया है' ऐसा कहता हुआ वह राजकुमार प्रयत्नपूर्वक सजाये हुए एक दूसरे कमरे में गया। वहाँ उसने नाना प्रकारके शस्त्र धारण करनेवाले अनेक योद्धाओंको द्वारपर नियुक्त कर यह आदेश दिया कि यहाँ जो कोई प्रवेश करेगा वह मेरे द्वारा वध्य होगा ।।२४-२५॥
तदनन्तर यथार्थ भावके प्रकट करने में जो लज्जा थी उसे दूर कर उस सुचेताने राम, लक्ष्मण और सीताके सामने बीचका आवरण फाड़ डाला ॥२६॥ तत्पश्चात् आवरणके दूर होते ही ऐसा लगने लगा मानो स्वर्गसे ही कोई उत्तम कन्या नोचे आकर पड़ी है। अथवा पातालसे ही निकली है। उस कन्याका मुख लज्जाके कारण कुछ नम्रीभूत हो रहा था ।।२७।। उसकी १. मोदकान् म.। २. पात्राणि । ३. समासन्नपुरुषैः क., ख.। समहाजपः म.। ५. इत्युपदेशतः क., ख., प्रसन्नः परमो -म.। ६. मध्योऽसौ समेति म., ख.।

In the Padma Purana, there were various kinds of dishes, sugar candy, and modakas. There were also bowls full of ghee, and puris filled with jaggery. ||14|| There were clothes, ornaments, garlands, and various kinds of pastes. There were also various kinds of vessels and hand-washing utensils. ||15|| All this was brought by the nearby swift-footed men, and the king had it brought to his own place. ||16|| Then, following the king's instructions, the inner doorkeeper went to where Rama was seated with Sita, and bowing down, he spoke thus: ||17|| "O Lord, your brother is in that tent, and the king of this city is also there. He respectfully requests that since the tent is cool and shady, and pleasing to the mind, you should be pleased to go there willingly." ||18-19|| Upon hearing this, Rama, adorned with the splendor of a maddened elephant, went with Sita, like the moon with the moonlight. ||20|| Seeing Rama approaching from afar, the prince, along with Lakshmana, stood up and went to greet him. ||21|| Rama, accompanied by Sita, sat on a very fine seat, and received the honors bestowed by the prince, such as the offering of water. ||22|| Then, after completing all the desired activities like bathing and eating, the prince sent away all the other people. Only Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, and the prince remained. ||23|| Saying, "A messenger has come from my father," the prince went to another room, which was elaborately decorated. There, he stationed many warriors, armed with various weapons, at the door, and gave the order that whoever entered there would be killed by him. ||24-25|| Then, overcoming the shyness he felt in revealing his true feelings, the prince tore open the curtain in front of Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita. ||26|| As the curtain was removed, it seemed as if a beautiful maiden had descended from heaven, or emerged from the underworld. The maiden's face was slightly flushed with shyness. ||27|| Her radiance illuminated the palace, like a fire that has just been lit. Her face, with its shy smile, shone like the moon with its soft rays. ||28||
