31. The clashing of the concourse against one another, and the cracking of their armlets and wristlets by their friction with each other; joined with the broken jewels and scattered pearls, slipped from the torn necklaces of the nobles, gave the floor of the court hall, the appearance of the spangled heaven.
32. There was a close concussion of the bodies, of sages and saints, of Bráhmans and princes and nobles all jumbled together; and there was a rapid undulation of the chourie flappers, waving in the hands of fanning maid servants.
33. But there was no huddling or dashing or pushing one against the other; as they were intent upon reflecting on the sense of the sages preaching, and rather asking excuses of one another, with the gestures of their bodies, when they came in contact with others.
34. At last the king and the sages and nobles, accosted one another with sweet and soft words; and took their parting leave (for repairing to their respective abode for the day).
35. They then left the palace, and proceeded to their residences, with their gladdened faces and contented minds; as when the immortals repair to all parts of heaven, from the synod of the king of gods—Indra or Sakra.
36. After every one had taken leave of others, and arrived at his house; he employed himself in the discharge of his ritual services of the day.
37. Thus the king and all, performed their daily ablutions and services as usual, until the end of the day.
38. As the day ended with the discharge, of the duties of the daily ritual; so the sojourner of the etherial path—the tired sun, sat down to rest in the west (as the birds of air repair at eve, to their respective nests). (The sun is said to be the unka or falcon of heaven; resting at his aspiand or nest in the west, by a poet of Persia).
39. After the performance of their vespers, the prince Ráma and the people at large, passed their nights awake and fastly, with talking about and thinking upon the discourse of the day.
40. Then the rising sun advanced in the east, with sweeping away the dust of darkness from before his path, and strewing about the starry flowers on his way, in order to fix his seat in the midst of his dome of the universe.
