Then they weighted the lotus-leaves with stones so that they made a cozy retreat, in which they could be together, and promised to meet each other there every evening. And then they parted. Aduan came back and his illness left him. From that time on he met Rose of Evening every day in the lotus field.
As long as the earth remains wet with water which a Brahmana hath touched with his feet, so long do Pitris drink water of cups made of lotus-leaves. If his feet are washed, it is the Pitris who are delighted; and if he is fed it is Prajapati that is pleased. A cow with her calf in the air in course of falling from the uterus to the earth, is to be regarded as equal to the earth herself.
The pillars of the groat central cluster had capitals exactly like those of the northern colonnade. The bases of the colonnade pillars are of singular beauty. Bell-shaped, and ornamented with a double or triple row of pendent lotus-leaves, some rounded, some narrowed to a point; they are as graceful as they are rare in their forms, and attract the admiration of all beholders.
And filled with grief at the separation from her lord, Sita drew a deep sigh and answered those Rakshasa women, saying, "Reverend ladies, eat me up without delay! I have no desire to live without that husband of mine, of eyes like lotus-leaves and locks wavy, and blue in hue! Know this for certain that I will never seek the protection of any other person than the descendant of Raghu.
And beholding that graceful maiden of slender waist and ample hips, and resembling a golden image, people thought, 'We have received a goddess. And overpowered by her energy, none could wed that girl of eyes like lotus-leaves, and possessed of a burning splendour. And taking the flowers that had been offered to the god, that lady, beautiful as Sree herself, went to her high-souled sire.
He called the servants and they made a couch of moist lotus-leaves, and dressed her wounds with damp sandal-paste. At that moment the third queen, Moon, left her room to go to the king. And as she moved through the noiseless night, she clearly heard in a distant part of the palace the sound of pestles grinding grain. And she cried: "Oh, oh! It will kill me!"
Govinda is said to be the purest of all pure things, the righteous of the righteous and the auspicious of the auspicious. In all the three worlds, He of eyes like lotus-leaves is the God of gods, and is eternal. He is the pure soul and the active principle of life, is the Supreme Brahma and is the lord of all. That slayer of Madhu, Hari of inconceivable soul, dwelleth there!"
From whom shall I today hear the sweet words, viz., 'That royal Nala, of eyes like lotus-leaves, whom thou seekest, is even here? Yonder cometh the forest-king, that tiger of graceful mien, furnished with four teeth and prominent cheeks. Even him will I accost fearlessly: Thou art the lord of all animals, and of this forest the king.
Beholding this damsel possessed of black hair and of eyes like lotus-leaves, in woe though deserving of bliss, even my heart is pained. Alas! when shall this girl graced with auspicious marks and devoted to her husband, crossing this ocean of woe, regain the company of her lord, like Rohini regaining the Moon's?
Love is a hard master. It has reduced her to this condition." But she gradually brought her back to life with cool water and fans and things. She made an easy bed of lotus-leaves. She put pearls cool as snow on her heart. Then Love-cluster came to herself and slowly said to her weeping friend: "My dear, the fire within me cannot be quenched by such things as pearls.
