## The Glorious Festival
Some were riding on the backs of lions, some on the backs of tigers, and some were setting out in chariots, led by the celestial lords. ||57|| They were accompanied by dancers, actors, and jesters, performing beautiful dances, and by groups of bards singing their praises in loud voices. ||58|| Their banners, adorned with the brilliance of the full moon, and their armies, armed with various weapons, eclipsed the sun's rays. ||56|| They arrived at the palace of Vibhishana, their faces blooming like lotus flowers, bringing joy to the divine women. ||60|| Their radiance, marked by auspicious signs, was a wonder even to the gods. ||61|| Descending from their elephant, honored with offerings of jewels, Rama and Lakshmana, accompanied by Sita, entered the beautiful palace of Vibhishana. ||62|| In the center of this grand palace, adorned with jeweled arches, stood the temple of Padma Prabha Jinendra, shining like gold, surrounded by beautiful palaces, situated in the heart of the Shesh mountain, resembling Mount Mandara, supported by a thousand golden pillars, resplendent, with a suitable height and breadth, adorned with various jewels, adorned with various kinds of beautiful balconies, shining like the moon, adorned with pearl nets hanging from the windows, filled with many wonders, beautiful with various regions like Prati Sara, and a destroyer of evil. ||63-67|| In this magnificent temple, the unparalleled image of Padma Prabha Jinendra, made of ruby, was enshrined, illuminating the jeweled earth with the brilliance of lotus flowers. Having praised and worshipped the image, they sat down in their designated places. ||68-69|| Then, the celestial lords, carrying Rama and Lakshmana in their hearts, went to their designated places, as arranged. ||70||
Then, the celestial women, separately, began the ritual of bathing for Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita. ||71||
