## The Fifty-ninth Chapter
Thus, as the days passed, filled with the enjoyment of worldly pleasures and deeply engaged in the pursuit of Dharma, Artha, and Kama, [1] Janaki, sleeping comfortably in her palace, resembling a celestial chariot, [2] on a bed as soft as a garland of autumn clouds, [3] saw a dream in the last watch of the night, her lotus-like eyes closed. She was awakened by the auspicious sounds of divine instruments. [4]
Then, as the morning dawned, pure and bright, filled with doubts, Janaki, having performed her daily rituals, went to her beloved, accompanied by her friends. [5] She asked, "My Lord, O learned one, I have seen a dream. You are worthy to interpret its meaning." [6]
"I saw two magnificent Ashtapadas, their radiance like the autumn moon, their sound like a churning ocean, their form like the peak of Kailasa, adorned with all ornaments. Their noble tusks were white and radiant, and their beautiful manes were adorned. I believe these two noble Ashtapadas entered my mouth." [7-8]
"Then, in another dream, I saw myself falling from the peak of the Pushpaka chariot, driven by the wind, like a banner, and landing on the earth." [9]
Padmanabha then said, "O blessed one, seeing a pair of Ashtapadas signifies that you will soon have two sons." [10]
"My dear, though falling from the front of the Pushpaka chariot is not auspicious, do not worry. By performing acts of peace and charity, the planets of misfortune will be pacified." [11]
Then, Spring arrived, adorned with a garland of flowers, riding on an elephant made of Kadamba trees, wielding a bow made of mango wood, armed with arrows made of lotus, carrying a quiver full of Bakul flowers, his glory sung by a chorus of pure-toned bumblebees. He breathed the fragrant air of Kadamba trees, as if he were sighing, and laughed at his enemies, as if illuminated by the light of Malati flowers. He sang sweetly, like a cuckoo, with his melodious voice. [12-13]
