34. Also _Vení_, _Krishnavení_, _Nirvindhyá_, _Saraju_, _Charmanvatí_, _Vitastá_, _Vipásá_ and _Báhúdaká_. 35. He saw also the (holy places of) _Prayága_, the _Naimisha_, the _Dharmaranya_, _Gyá_, _Varánasí_, _Srígiri_, _Kedára_ and _Pushkara_. 36. He saw the Mánasa and the northern Mánsaravara lakes, and many fiery lakes and springs, the Báda, the Vindhyá range and the sea. 37. He saw the fiery pool of Jwálámukhí, the great shrine of Jagannátha, the fountain of _Indradumna_ and many other reservoirs, rivers and lakes. 38. He visited the shrine of _Kártikeya_ and the Gandak river of _Sálagrámas_, and also the sixty four shrines sacred to Hari and Hara. 39. He saw various wonders, the coasts of the four seas, the _Vindhyá_ range, the groves of Hara, and the boundary hills and level lands. 40. He visited the places of the great _Rájarshis_ and the _Brahmarshis_, and went wherever there was any auspicious sanctuary of the gods and Bráhmans. 41. Thus they all honouring Ráma, travelled far and wide in company with his two brothers, and traversed all the four quarters on the surface of the earth. 42. Honoured by the gods, _Kinnaras_ and by men, and having seen all the places on earth, the descendant of Raghu returned home, like Siva when he returns to the _Sivaloka_. CHAPTER IV. RÁMA’S RETURN FROM PILGRIMAGE. Ráma strewn over with handfuls of flowers by the citizens (surrounding him) entered the palace, as when the beauteous Jayanta (son of Indra) enters his celestial abode. 2. On his first arrival he bent himself in reverence before his father, before Vasishtha, before his brothers, his friends, the Bráhmanas and the elderly members of the family. 3. Repeatedly embraced as he was by friends, by his father, mothers and by the Bráhmanas, the son of Raghu bowed down his head to them with joy. 4. The assembled people after their familiar conversation with Ráma in the palace, strolled about on all sides highly delighted with his speech, resembling the music of a flute. 5. Thus eight days were passed in festive mirth consequent to the arrival of Ráma, and shouts of joy were sent forth by the elated multitude. 6. Thenceforth Rághava continued to dwell happily at home, with relating to his friends, the different customs and manners of the countries (he visited) on all sides. 7. He rose early in the morning and performed his morning service according to law. He then visited his father seated as Indra in his Council. 8. He next passed a fourth part of the day in company with Vasishtha and other sages, and was greatly edified by their conversations which were full of instruction. 9. He used also to go out for sport under orders of his father; and surrounded by a large number of troops, to forests full of (wild) boars and buffaloes.
