NOW CANTO II
1. Having come out of the city, he (Rama) perceived the
autumn bearing, all around, the beauty of plants, lakes, and
rivers, and the radiant quarters possessing splendour.
2. Wearing the excessive splendour of filames on their
petals (that were) tremulous on account of the contact with the
ripples, the red lotuses, which had the hue of smoky blazing fire
and had bees hovering (around), looked to advantage.
3. On seeing their own affiluence snatched away by the
waters through the clusters of trees on the banks that had entered
(the waters) as reflections, the banks, as if through wrath,
exhibited the splendour of the water-lilies by means of the
blooms of ground-lilies.
4. With clear drops dripping from around the edges of
its leaves, on account of the night dew that resembled tears
from the eyes, a tree on the bank, on which the birds were
chirping, bewailed, as it were, the moon-lotus at the dawn of
the day.
