## The Twenty-Seventh Chapter
**nama**
Then the king of Magadha, astonished by the beautiful story, asked the Ganadhara, with renewed respect, "What great virtue did King Janaka see in Rama, that he decided to give him his daughter?"
The Ganadhara, whose teeth shone twice as bright due to the touch of his hands, spoke words that brought joy to the heart. "Listen, O King, I will tell you about Rama, who performed actions without any blemish. The wise King Janaka decided to give him his daughter for this reason."
"To the south of the Vijayaardha mountain and to the north of Mount Kailasa, there are many countries, separated by intervening lands. Among them is a country called Ardhavavar, where people are unrestrained and disrespectful, full of deceitful people and teeming with terrible Mlechchhas."
"In this country, there is a city called Mayuramala, resembling the city of Yama. In this city, a king named Antarangatam ruled."
"From east to west, there were thousands of Mlechchhas, like pigeons, parrots, Kambojas, and Mankanas. They were protected by many kinds of fierce armies, equipped with various weapons. They worshipped Antarangatam with great devotion, along with all their resources."
"These Mlechchhas, devoid of compassion, came to destroy the Aryan countries, their movements swift and fierce."
"Then, these Mlechchhas, like locusts, prepared to invade King Janaka's country."
"King Janaka quickly sent his warriors to Ayodhya. They reached King Dasharatha and informed him of Antarangatam's arrival. They said, 'O King, King Janaka, who loves his people, informs you that the earth is covered by the wheel of the Pauliinda, a foreign king.'"
