Part 3: Description of Suvidhi’s parents (king Sugrīva and queen Rāmā)

The king was named Sugrīva, like a necklace of the earth, like a Graiveyaka-god in beauty. His command, like a weapon with an efficacious charm, was nowhere cast aside, neither in cities, forests, oceans, nor mountains. The river of wise policy with high-crested water of glory rose in him like a mountain and flowed to the ocean. The ocean of glorious deeds of him, the crest-jewel of kings, devoured the wide streams of glory of all the kings.

His wife was named Rāmā, the stop to all faults, beautiful with spotless virtues, the crest-jewel of all charming women. The receptacle of natural beauty, giving delight to the eyes, she was unique on earth, like a digit of the moon in the sky. Sweet-voiced, shining with two white wings in the form of garments, she dwelt always in the Mānasa^[1] of her husband, like a rājahaṃsī. Rati did not attain joy nor Prīti delight, completely overcome by her unparalleled beauty. Time passed for King Sugrīva and her, suitable for each other, sporting like Rohiṇī and the moon.
