The two princes (Ram and Laxman) look magnificent on either side of the sage (Vishwamitra), and this view reminds one of the wonderful and enchanting sight of the sun when it is viewed at an angle in such a way that it has a blue-tinged and a yellowtinged lotus flower on either side of it. In this imagery, Lord Ram is compared to the blue lotus because he has a dark complexion, Laxman to a yellow lotus as he has a fair complexion, and sage Vishwamitra to the sun as he is radiant with divine energy that he has accumulated by doing severe Tapa, effusing out of him.
