Charming trees, beautiful creepers

 Jai Sri Ram,

At the approach of night, the sage gave the word and all performed their evening devotions, and while the sage recited old legends and narratives, two watches of the beautiful night passed, the sage retired to his bed, two brothers began to rub his feet, the couple whose lotus feet are sought by men of dispassion muttering various sacred formulae and practicing different kinds of Yoga, lovingly rubbed the lotus feet of Guru, conquered as it were by his love,

When the sage asked him again and again, Rama went to bed only then, Laxman pressed Rama's feet on his bosom and caressed them with reverence and love deriving supreme joy from this service, it was only when the lord repeatedly said, retire now, my brother, that he laid himself down cherishing his brother's lotus feet in his heart, 

Toward the close of night, at the sound of cock crow, got up Laxman, the Lord of the universe, Sri Rama, also woke up before his guru, Having performed all the customary acts of purification they went and finished their ablutions, and thus have gone through the daily routine of devotion, they bow before the sage when the time reach, took leave and went out to gather flowers, having gone to see the lovely garden, 

Charming trees, beautiful creepers of different colors, rich fresh leaves that put shame on even celestial trees, beautiful birds warbled, peacocks danced, lovely lake shone bright with flights of steps made of many colored gems, limpid water with beautiful lotuses of various colors and was vocal with the cooling of aquatic birds and humming of bees,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
