circumambulation with charming paces

Jai sri Ram,
King Janaka was unable to make supplication, since that prince Rama of swarthy complexion had justified his name, by making him forget everything about the body,

When oblations had been offered to the sacred fire with due rites, the ends of garments of the bride and the bridegroom were tied together as a token of their indissolute union and the couple began to circumambulate the fire in order to show that the two had been united in the presence of the fire god as a witness,

At the sound of Huzzas, the praises sung by the bards, the recitation of the Vedic texts, the din of the festal songs and the beating of kettledrums the wise immortals rejoiced and rained down flowers from the trees of paradise,

The bride and the bridegroom performed the circumambulation with charming paces; while all present feasted their admiring gaze on the spectacle,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
