Sanskrit: ददर्श च महाभागां तपसा द्योतितप्रभाम्। लोकैरपि समागम्य दुर्निरीक्ष्यां सुरासुरैः॥ प्रयत्नानिर्मितां धात्रा दिव्यां मायामयीमिव। धूमेनाभिपरीताङ्गी दीप्तामग्निशिखामिव॥ सतुषारावृतां साभ्रां पूर्णचन्द्रप्रभामिव। मध्येऽम्भसो दुराधर्षां दीप्तां सूर्यप्रभामिव ॥
English: They beheld that magnificent dame flaming in ascetic energy; and incapable of being gazed at too near even by the celestials and the Asuras; as if created by the Deity to be the divinely charming Woman; like a flame hid in smoke; or the brightness of the full moon clouded and dimmed in mist; or the solar splendour incapable of being beheld of account of clouds.
Sanskrit: सा हि गौतमवाक्येन दुर्निरीक्ष्या बभूव ह। त्रयाणामपि लोकानां यावद् रामस्य दर्शनम्। शापस्यान्तमुपागम्य तेषां दर्शनमागता॥
English: And by virtue of Gautama's word, she had been incapable of being seen by any in the three worlds, till the sight of Rāma. And now the curse having come to an end, she could be perceived by them.
Sanskrit: राघवौ तु तदा तस्याः पादौ जगृहतुर्मुदा। स्मरन्ती गौतमवचः प्रतिजग्राह सा हि तौ॥ पाद्यमर्थ्य तथाऽऽतिथ्यं चकार सुसमाहिता। प्रतिजग्राह काकुत्स्थो विधिदृष्टेन कर्मणा॥
English: The two descendants of Raghu then took hold of her feet; but remembering Gautama's words, she on her part took hold of theirs. And with a collected mind she gave them water for their feet as well as Arghya, and extended to them the rites of hospitality.
