सीय मातु मन मुदित उतारति आरति।
को कहि सकइ अनंद मगन भइ भारति॥
The mind and heart (‘Mana’) of Sita’s mother became very exhilarated as she performed the Arti (of the couple)". [Sita’s mother did the Arti to bless the couple, Lord Ram and Sita, as well as to wish them good in future. The light of the lamps is symbolic of the lighted path that stands for a bright future that is wished for the person to whom the Arti is shown.
Tulsidas wonders—"Who can describe the exuberance, the warmth, the intensity of happiness, joy and delight that overflowed on that occasion? Even Saraswati (the goddess of speech) became overwhelmed with joy and delight so much so that she too became dumbfounded and speechless.”
(In other words, the atmosphere at that time was fully charged with the emotions of love, affection, warmth and happiness that filled it and radiated in all the directions. These emotions were of such intensity and so divine that one could experience them and enjoy them but not able to describe them in words just like a man eating some delicious food enjoys the taste but is unable to describe it in words which would make others experience and enjoy the same taste as he did while he was eating the delicacy.)
