Hearing Janaka's speech, those four perpetuators of Raghus's line, staying by Vasiştha's opinions, taking the hands of the four brides with their own, went round the sacrificial fire, and the dais, and the king, and the highsouled saints; and in company with their wives, agreeably to direction entered into matrimony in accordance with the ordinance.
जनकस्य वचः श्रुत्वा पाणीन्पाणिभिरस्पृशन्॥ चत्वारस्ते चतसृणां वसिष्ठस्य मते स्थिताः। अग्नि प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा वेदिं राजानमेव च॥ ऋषींश्चापि महात्मानः सहभार्या रघूद्वाहाः। यथोक्तेन ततश्चक्रुर्विवाहं विधिपूर्वकम्॥ पुष्पवृष्टिर्महत्यासीदन्तरिक्षात् सुभास्वरा।
