(So, the good kings reproached the greedy kings by saying—) ‘Why don’t you fellows drink the nectar-like beauty (of Sri Ram) to your heart’s content? Make yourself feel contented and privileged by doing so” (because when it is certain that you fellows won’t marry Sita, then why not use this opportunity to enjoy the wonderful spectacle of Lord Ram breaking the bow and marrying Sita, as this chance will not come to you again in life; why do you wish to fritter it away out of your haughtiness and vanity?). Why do you want to become beastly and mean, and behave like an animal in the guise of a man? That is, why don’t you enjoy the wonderful sight of Lord Ram looking so majestic and grand in the middle of the assembly? Have you ever seen such a lovely prince in your life? In his comparison all of you look like ugly animals. Your behaviour is also like a stupid and lustful animal that has no sense of propriety and wisdom because all of you yearn to marry Sita who is much younger in age than any of you, and none of you is a suitable match for her by any yardstick. Can’t you see the dilemma that Janak is in—put yourselves in his place and think what you would do. When Ram is present as a candidate, say which father would not like to marry his beloved daughter to him as compared to you all, none of whom is even like a dark shadow of this glorious prince. When it is dead certain that Sita will be married to Ram, what sense is there in inviting humiliation and shame by attempting to lift the bow, especially when it is Lord Shiva’s bow and the latter has already been invoked by the citizens as well as Sita to make things happen in a way that the bow breaks automatically at the hands of Ram, implying that it would not move a fraction no matter how hard you all try. In this scenario, what sense is there in boasting that you have great strength? Why don’t you fill your hearts and eyes with the pleasant sight of Lord Ram who is like a lotus amongst other flowers in this pond representing the venue of the bow ceremony?
