Helplessly fortifying their fame

Jai sri Ram,
Helplessly fortifying their fame, glory and great valour to the bow they returned,

Confused and disheartened, the kings went and sat in the midst of their own company,

Seeing the kings thus frustrated king Janaka got impatient and spoke words as if in anger,

Hearing the vow made by me many a kings has come from diverse parts of the world, gods and demons in human form and many other heroes, staunch in fight, have assembled,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please

virtuous lady refuses to yield the words of a gallant

Jai Sri Ram,
Ten thousands of kings then proceeded all at once to raise it,

But it baffled all attempts at moving it,

Shiva's bow did not stir in the same way as the mind of a virtuous lady refuses to yield the words of a gallant

All the princes made themselves butt of ridicule like a recluse without dispassion,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

Grinding up their loins

Jai sri Ram,
Grinding up their loins they rose impatiently and bowing their head to their chosen deity and went ahead,

They cast an angry look at Shiva's bow, grappled with it with steady aim and exerted all their strength,

But the bow refused to be lifted, those princes-who had any sense at all did not even approach the bow,

Those foolish kings indignantly at the bow and retired in confusion when it refuses to leave its position, as though it grew more and more bulky by absorbing the might of each successive warrior,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

great champions Ravana and Banasur quietly slipped away

Jai sri Ram,
Even the great champions Ravana and Banasur quietly slipped away as soon as they saw the bow,

Whoever in this royal assembly break today the yonder unbending bow of Shiva shall be unhesitatingly and insistently wedded by Sri Sita ji,

And shall triumph over the three worlds,

Hearing the Vow all the princes were filled with longing , while those prided on their valour felt very indignant,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

planet Rahu

Jai Sri Ram,
The herald then uttered these polite words,

Listen all princes; with our long arm uplifted we announce to you king Videha's Vow,

The might of the arm of the various princes stands the moon,

While Shiva's bow is the planet Rahu as it were; it is massive and unyielding, as is known to all,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please  

go round and proclaim my vow

Jai Sri Ram,
The world will speak well of him and the idea will find favour with all,

On the other hand, if he persists in his folly, he shall have to rue it in the end,

Everyone is absorbed in the ardent feeling that the dark complexioned youth is suitable match for Sri Sita ji,

Then king Janaka summoned the heralds and they came eulogizing his race-King said-go round and proclaim my vow-forthwith they proceeded on their mission; there was a little joy in their heart,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

give Sri Sita in marriage to Rama

Jai Sri Ram,
Out of natural bashfulness that she felt to the presence of elders and at the sight of the vast assemblage,

Sri Sita shrank into herself and drawing the her of Raghu's race into her heart she turned eyes towards her companions

Beholding sri Rama's beauty and Sri Sita's loveliness men and women alike forget to close their eyelids,

All of them felt anxious to the creator-quickly take away the falsehood of Janaka so that king without least scruple may abandon his vow and give Sri Sita in marriage to Rama,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please
