Portrait of Valmiki Valmiki,  The Ramayana of Valmiki — Book I… (1870s)

“ The monarch bade the town be decked.
The king and Rishyas'ring elate
Entered the royal city's gate:
In front the chaplain rode.
Then, loved and honoured with all care
By monarch and by courtier, there
The glorious saint abode.

'The maid of India blest again to hold
In her full lap the Champac's leaves of gold.'
