The description of horses :

KABIT

The horses, restless like the eyes of a women, swift like the swift utterances of a shrewd person an mercurial like the crane rising up in the sky, are vibrating hither and thither.

They are swift like the feet of a dancer, they are the tactics of throwing the dice or even some hallucination.

These brave horses are swift like arrow and gunshot, shrewd and mighty like Hanuman, the son of Anjani they are roaming like the fluttering banners.

These horses are like the intense emotions of the god of love, or the swift waves of the Ganges. They have beautiful limbs like the limbs of cupid and are not stable at any one place.171.

All the princes are being considered as moon by the night and sun by the day, they are known as great donors for the beggars, the ailments consider them as medicine.

When they, consisting of endless beauty are nearby, them there is suspicion about their impending separation. They are all most honourable like Shiva.

They are famous swordsmen, childlike for their mothers, the supreme knowledgeable for great sages, they appear apparently like probvidence.

All the Ganas consider them as Ganesh and all the gods as Indra. The sum and substance is this that they manifest themselves in the same form as one thinks about.172.

Having bathed in ambrosia and the manifestation of beauty and glory, these very winsome princes appear as having been created in special mould.

It seems that in order to allure some most beautiful damsel the providence created these great heroes in a special way.

They appear as having been taken out as gems by churning the ocean by the gods and demons on abandoning their disputes.

Or it seems that the Lord of the universe made improvement in the creation of their faces himself for having their continuous sight.173.

Crossing the frontier of their kingdom and passing through other countries, all these princes reached the abode of king Janak of Mithila.

On reaching there they caused the high-pitch resonance of the drums and other musical instruments.

The king came forward and hugged the all three to his bosom, all the Vedic rites were performed.

There was continuous chartable flow of wealth and on acquiring the alsm, the beggars became king-like.174.

The banners were unfurled and the drums resounded, the brave heroes began to shout loudly on reaching Janakpuri.

Somewhere the whisks are being swung, somewhere the minstrels are singing eulogies and somewhere the poets are reciting their beautiful stanza.

Somewhere the lyre is being played, somewhere flutes, drum and other musical instruments. On seeing all this the god of love is feeling shy and so mush charity was donated that the beggars feel satisfied.

The poor became king-like and began to give blessings after receiving alms, no tendency for begging was left.175.

Janak came and hugged all the three to his bosom and honoured them in various ways.

The Vedic discipline was observed and the Brahmins recited the congratulatory Vedic mantras.

The king gave the gift of gold to each Brahmin, the princes were given presents and there was shower of gems.

The white elephants and the brisk horses of Sindhu were presented to the princes, in this way all the three princes moved black after their wedding.176.
