The sage affectionately moves his hands on the curled lock of hairs dangling on the side of the ears of the two princes. This view is like the dark-red petals of a lotus flower caressing two young sons of Kamdeo-cupid. In this imagery, Lord Ram and Laxman are like the two most handsome sons of Kamdeo, the patron God of beauty, and the sage’s hands are compared to the petals of the red lotus. The young ones of Kamdeo who are sitting near the lotus flower are being tenderly caressed by the petals as they sway in the soft wind.
