## Chapter Forty-Nine
Other celestial beings in the southern range of the Vijayardha mountain, who were shrouded in darkness of weapons, were subdued by Lakshmana. ||1|| Those celestial beings, who were previously as formidable as great serpents, became free from the poison of pride and became servants of Rama. ||2|| O King! I will now tell you some of the names of those cities, which possess brilliance like that of heaven. Listen. ||3|| The cities are: Ravinibha, Vahniprabha, Kanchana, Megha, Shivamandira, Gandharvagita, Amritapura, Lakshmidhara, Kinnarodgita, Jimutashikhara, Martyanugita, Chakrapura, Rathanupura, Bahurava, Malaya, Shrigriha, Bhaskarabha, Ariñjaya, Jyotipura, Shashichhaya, Gandhara, Malaya, Singhapura, Shrivijayapura, Yakshapura, and Tilakapura. O Purushottama! Lakshmana, the great soul, subdued these and many other excellent cities. ||4-6|| Thus, Lakshmana, the handsome, subdued the entire earth and, adorned with seven treasures, attained the complete state of Narayana. ||10|| The seven treasures, Chakra, Chatra, Dhanush, Shakti, Gada, Mani, and Khadga, were obtained by Lakshmana. ||11|| [Similarly, the four treasures, Hal, Musala, Gada, and Ratnamala, were obtained by Rama.] Then, the king Shrenika said to Gautama Swami, "O Bhagavan! By your grace, I have learned the greatness of Rama and Lakshmana according to the scriptures. Now, I wish to know the origin of Lavanaṅkusha and the birth of Lakshmana's sons. You are worthy of telling me." ||12-13||
Then, the lord of the assembly of sages, Shri Gautama Ganadhara, said in a loud voice, "O King! Listen, I will tell you the story you desire." ||14|| Rama and Lakshmana, the principal men of the age, were born with the enjoyment of a vast kingdom, free from thorns, and were devoted to the great happiness granted by the god Dodundaka. Thus, their days, fortnights, months, years, and yugas passed. ||15-16||
