When Räma, manifesting emotion, and being eager for encounter, had said this, the priests and spiritual guides lit up the altar. And along with Viśvāmitra and the family priests, they lit up the altar furnished with Kusa, and Kasa, and ladles, and faggots, and flowers.
रामस्यैवं ब्रुवाणस्य त्वरितस्य युयुत्सया। प्रजज्वाल ततो वेदिः सोपाध्यायपुरोहिता॥ सदर्भचमसनुक्का ससमित्कुसुमोच्चया। विश्वामित्रेण सहिता वेदिर्जज्वाल सर्विजा॥
