## Chapter 160
The bride and groom, their foreheads purified by the water of the Siddha image, were seated on a magnificent golden platform. The Chakravarti, with his long arms, held a bejeweled golden bangle, adorned with large gems and sparkling pearls. The bangle, adorned with Ashok leaves, seemed to imitate the beauty of the couple's hands. Then, as if to signify their long life, a stream of water was poured from a high vessel, falling upon the groom's hand.
The mighty Vanajangha, with great joy, took the hand of the bride. Her soft touch filled him with such bliss that his eyes closed. The touch of his hand caused the bride to sweat, like the dew that forms on a Chandrakanta gem exposed to the moon's rays. Just as the rain relieves the earth's heat, so too did the touch of Vanajangha's hand dispel the bride's long-standing anxieties. United with Vanajangha, the bride shone like a creeper clinging to a great Kalpa tree. She was the most excellent of women, and her presence made Vanajangha as radiant as Kamadeva adorned by Rati.
Thus, with the blessings of the gurus, the wedding, a source of great joy for all, concluded. The people showered the bride with respect, proclaiming her to be a true Srimat, a goddess of fortune. The couple, with their perfect forms, resembled divine beings, filling the hearts of the onlookers with joy and peace.
