They heard, and turned them from the court

And, each to each in friendship bound,

Went forth to all the realms around.

The rites were o'er, the guests were sped:

The train the best of Bráhmans led,

In which the king with joyful soul,

With his dear wives, and with the whole

Of his imperial host and train

Of cars and servants turned again,

And, as a monarch dear to fame,
