तत: thereafter, विमले in the pure light, प्रभाते of dawn, नराधिप: king, कृतकर्मा having performed daily devotions, सराघवम् together with two Raghavas, महात्मानम् magnanimous Visvamitra, आजुहाव invited.

The day dawned bright and clear when the king (Janaka) performed his daily routine rites and welcomed the great Viswamitra with the two Raghavas (Rama and Lakshmana). King Janaka honours Viswamitra, Rama and Lakshmana--narrates the story about the bow of Mahadeva--declares he would give Sita in marriage to Rama if he strings the bow.
