Padma Purana
There, seated on a beautiful, auspicious seat, was the son of Kakutstha, adorned with armlets, resplendent with Lakshmi all around. ||71|| He, clad in a pure blue garment, shone like a jewel in a crown. He, adorned with a boar's tusk, shone like the rising moon. ||72|| Clad in a divine yellow garment, adorned with garlands, armlets, and earrings, Lakshmana, the son of Sumitra, shone like a cloud with lightning. ||73|| Sugriva, the king, with a crown adorned with the mark of a monkey, and with the prowess of an elephant of the gods, shone like a powerful guardian of the world. ||74|| Viradha, the prince, seated behind Sumitra, was invisible due to his brilliance, like a jewel in a chakra. ||75|| Hanuman, the wise, also shone near Padma-nama, like the brilliant planet Mercury rising near the full moon. ||76|| Adorned with fragrant garlands, clothes, and other ornaments, Angada and Angada shone like Yama and Vaishravana. ||77|| Nala, Nila, and hundreds of other kings, seated around Raghunandan, were also shining brightly. ||78|| The air was fragrant with the scent of five kinds of fragrant tambula and other fragrant substances. The assembly, illuminated by ornaments, was like the assembly of Indra. ||79|| Filled with wonder, Hanuman, full of joy, said to Rama, "O Raghunandan, although your qualities should not be praised in your presence, because such a custom is seen even in this world, still, the intense desire to praise your qualities directly is justified. Because, for those who are dear speakers, the direct praise of qualities is a source of great joy. ||80-82|| I have heard of your extraordinary greatness, which is stronger than the world. I see you, the protector of beings, with my own eyes, and you are indeed powerful. ||83|| O King, you are endowed with all beauty, and your world is adorned with your bright fame, which is like a treasure of qualities. ||83||
They all sat on their respective seats, adorned. ||70||
