Apsaras shower flowers and sing; the joyful Devas beat their drums. The welcomers set all the gifts before King Dasharatha and plead with great love. He accepts everything warmly, and it is given away to the beggars. After honouring the guests with worship and courtesy, they lead them to the lodging. Rich cloths are spread on the way, so fine that even Kubera would lose his pride of wealth. A lovely lodging is given, with every comfort for all. Knowing the procession has come, Sita reveals a little of her own glory: remembering the siddhis in her heart, she calls them and sends them to serve the king's guests. At her command they go to the lodging, carrying every wealth, comfort and the pleasures of Indra's city.
बरषि सुमन सुर सुन्दरि गावहिँ । मुदित देव दुंदुभीं बजावहिँ ॥
बस्तु सकल राखीं नृप आगें । बिनय कीन्ह तिन्ह अति अनुरागें ॥

जानी सियँ बरात पुर आई । कछु निज महिमा प्रगटि जनाई ॥
हृदयँ सुमिरि सब सिद्धि बोलाई । भूप पहुनई करन पठाई ॥

hṛdayam̐ sumiri saba siddhi bolāī | bhūpa pahunaī karana paṭhāī ||
सिधि सब सिय आयसु अकनि, गईं जहाँ जनवास ।
लिये सम्पदा सकल सुख, सुरपुर भोग बिलास ॥
sidhi saba siya āyasu akani, gaīṃ jahām̐ janavāsa |
liye sampadā sakala sukha, surapura bhoga bilāsa ||
