To all the gathered host it seemed

As if that magic scene they dreamed,

And wonder, as they gazed, increased

At Bharadvája's glorious feast.

Thus in the hermit's grove they spent

That night in joy and merriment,

Blest as the Gods who take their ease

Under the shade of Nandan's trees.

Each minstrel bade the saint adieu,

And to his blissful mansion flew,
