In the Padma Purana
Jitasamadana the swan (madhavan) whose beauty is like a beautiful lady of noble lineage,
tied with the delightful bunch of flowers. || 167 ||
With the very soft garland of arms, in the middle of the arrows of Indra,
the exquisite thighs standing firm like a pillar of polished marble,
with feet adorned like a lotus on the ground,
and a back as bright as a flame, radiant with a vast shadow like a twin bosom. || 168 ||
In the auspicious womb of the noble abode,
with various paths of beauty, she is of supreme color.
1. With a body like a diamond.
Always attended by seven maidens,
she delights in the enchanting way of scriptures. || 169 ||
If the glory of the sun, the moonlight of the moon,
the queen of the gods or the virtuous Subhadra could somehow acquire
the beauty of Janaki's form, they would undoubtedly be more beautiful than before. || 170 ||
As the creator established the goddess of love,
so King Janaka rightly designated Sita, who is endowed with all knowledge,
as the wife of Rama, the first son of King Dasharatha,
since the goddess of the lotuses (Lakshmi) is indeed suited to contact the rays of the sun. || 171 ||
Thus, the twenty-sixth chapter, which is about the birth of Sita and Maṇḍala,
is concluded, as spoken by the revered Acharya Raviśeṇa. || 26 ||
