श्री सीता-राम विवाह, विदाई – The wedding of Shri Ram and Sita ji and their departure

"दूलह और दुलहिनें परस्पर अपने-अपने अनुरूप जोड़ी को देखकर सकुचाते हुए हृदय में हर्षित हो रही हैं। सब लोग प्रसन्न होकर उनकी सुंदरता की सराहना करते हैं और देवगण फूल बरसा रहे हैं। सब सुंदरी दुलहिनें सुंदर दूल्हों के साथ एक ही मंडप में ऐसी शोभा पा रही हैं, मानो जीव के हृदय में चारों अवस्थाएँ (जाग्रत, सुषुप्ति, स्वप्न और तुरीय) अपने चारों स्वामियों (विश्व, तैजस, प्राज्ञ और ब्रह्म) सहित विराजमान हों॥4॥"

"When the Brides saw how perfectly each pair was matched (Ram ji and Bharat ji, with their dark complexions, were united with Sita ji and Mandavi ji, both fair as the Moon, while Lakshman ji and Shatrughan ji, fair of hue, were wedded to Urmila ji and Shrutkeerti ji, who were gracefully dusky), a shy joy blossomed in their hearts. The entire assembly was filled with delight, praising the beauty of the couples, as the Demigods from the Heavens showered flowers in celebration. The radiant Bridegrooms and their beautiful Brides adorned the sacred wedding pavilion, as if the four states of consciousness were reuniting with their divine masters (Ram ji, the Cosmic Spirit, united with Sita ji, representing Enlightenment; Lakshman ji, the Energy, with Urmila ji, symbolizing Sleep; Bharat ji, the Intellect, with Mandavi ji, embodying Dream; and Shatrughan ji, the World itself, with Shrutkeerti ji, signifying Wakefulness)."
