Padma Purana
Suta, you have described the daughter of Drona Megha, whose body was adorned with modesty. She bowed with folded hands, offering obeisance to the lotus feet of Rama. ||58||
She was praised by the words of the great ministers of the Vidyadharas. She was honored by other celestial beings and blessed with auspicious wishes. ||59||
Like Sachi beside Indra, she stood beside Lakshmana, a beautiful woman with auspicious qualities, obedient to her companions. ||60||
She was captivating, with eyes like those of a doe, and a face like the full moon. Her generous heart was inspired by great love. ||61||
She embraced her beloved, who was sleeping peacefully on the earth, and adorned him with the fragrant sandalwood, which was held in her delicate hands, making him look even more beautiful. ||62||
She also anointed Rama with sandalwood, her hands trembling slightly with shyness. ||63||
The other maidens, following the instructions of the king of the celestial beings, touched the bodies of the other Vidyadharas with the sandalwood held in Vishalya's hand. ||64||
The sandalwood, touched by Vishalya's hand, was then brought to Indrajeet and others, as per Rama's command. ||65||
Inhaling the cool sandalwood and applying it to their bodies with reverence, they attained supreme bliss. Their souls were purified, and their fever vanished. ||66||
Other warriors, whose bodies were wounded, as well as elephants, horses, and foot soldiers, were sprinkled with that water. They became free from wounds, their bodies shining like the newly risen sun. ||67||
Lakshmana, who was as beautiful as if he had been born again, and who seemed to be enjoying a natural sleep, was awakened by the sweet melody of music, accompanied by the sound of the flute. ||68||
Then, with his chest heaving slowly, he opened his lotus-like red eyes, his arms outstretched. He contracted his limbs and abandoned the bed of delusion. ||69||
