The Twenty-Fifth Chapter 143. The city of that one, adorned with buildings resembling the heavens, shines with all the qualities of desire, like the white Kunda flower. ||13|| 144. O Bhadra, this is his abode, surrounded by magnificent palaces, and it stands in the midst of the city of the charming Rama. ||144|| 145. Saying this, the greatly delighted one entered that house. Seeing Lakshmana from afar, he was overwhelmed with anxiety. ||145|| 146. Trembling, he thought, "This one, resembling the indigo lotus, is the same one who tormented me, a foolish one, with various kinds of death at that time." ||146|| 147. Greatly distressed, he spoke these words in his ears, "O great villain! O sinner! At that time, you spoke words that were extremely painful to the ears. Why are you silent now? Come out!" ||147|| 148. He thought to himself, "What should I do? Where should I go? What hole should I enter? Who will be a refuge for me, this helpless one, today?" ||148|| 149. "If I had known that he was staying here, I would have crossed the northern direction and abandoned this country." ||149|| 150. Overwhelmed with anxiety, the Brahmin, leaving his wife, was about to flee when Lakshmana saw him. ||150|| 151. Smiling, he said, "Where has this Brahmin come from? It seems he has been nurtured in the forest. Why is he so anxious?" ||151|| 152. "Comfort him and bring him quickly. Let us see what he is doing and what he says." ||152|| 153. "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, return," he was urged. Having received comfort, he returned with faltering steps. ||153|| 154. Approaching and leaving his wife behind, he spread out his white garment. Standing before them with a handful of flowers, he uttered the word "Svasti." ||154|| 155. Then, seated on the seat that was given to him, with his wife sitting nearby, the Brahmin, skilled in hymns of praise, began to praise Rama and Lakshmana. ||155|| 156. Then, Padma said, "Having made us experience such humiliation, why are you now worshipping us, O Brahmin? Tell us now that you have come." ||156|| 157. He said, "I did not know that you were the disguised Maheshvara. Due to my delusion, I insulted you, like the wind covered in ashes." ||157||
