Without much ado he tells him straight that he has
to go to Lanka, the capital city of the Rakshasa King, on
a sacred errand. The rainy season having finished, the
Sarat has come back, and with it the Hamsa has come
down from the North. There is yet the likelihood of his
voyaging further South in search of fresh lotus-ponds,
where undisturbed he can enjoy himself. But if he is to be
reminded that the extreme South is the haunt of the
Rakshasas, he may perhaps change his mind. So Rama
assures him that he can easily overlook this one demerit
of the South, in the midst of its several merits.
स्थानैर्दिव्यैरुपचितगुणां, चन्दनारण्यरम्यां,
मुक्तासूतिं, मलयमरुतां मातरं, दक्षिणाशाम् ।
अस्मत्प्रीत्यै जनकतनयाजीवितार्थं च गच्छन्
एकं रक्षः पदमिति सखे दोषलेशं सहेथाः ॥

The very mission on which he goes is sacred, जनकतनयाजीवि -
ar, and for a good cause one can submit oneself even to
an irksome inconvenience. Therefore the one defect can
easily be excused (एकोहि दोषो गुणसन्निपाते निमज्जति).
Having himself treated him as an honoured guest,
Rama is certain that the Raja-hamsa will receive a royal
attention wherever he goes. Already the south wind has
come as a faithful friend to welcome him with sweet
scents freshly gathered from the blossoms of lotuses and
lilies. The light transparent autumnal cloud, with the
straight rays of the sun shot through it like so many ribs
radiating from a centre, and borne by the wind over his
head, will just look like a state umbrella held over a royal
personage.
