This caused immense exultation, exhilaration and joy amongst friendly people’, while the face of those who were inimical and jealous became dejected, gloomy and remorseful. As soon as it became clear that Ram is the successful candidate who will get the hands of Sita in marriage, the defeated kings felt gloomy like the bird known as Chakor that feels upset when the sun rises as it prefers the moon to the sun, as well as the water lily which shrivels up when the sun rises. In contrast, the citizens of Janakpur, the gods as well as wise kings who had decided not to go near the bow, felt happy like the Chakvi and Chakva as well as the lotus flower which opens its petals at the sight of the sun to indicate that it is feeling cheerful at seeing the face of the sun.
