render does not wait for the other side to move; nor does

that they may in their distant flights happen to meet her
Rama; or she may be looking in the direction of the
North, expecting every moment the arrival of her Lord,
as assurd by Hanuman; or she may be innocently asking
her jewels if they remembered her lord's personal contact
