English Meaning
Having placed him on a seat crested with various jewels in the arena decorated with gold, various jewels and rich parapharnalia, (he placed on his head) the jewelled crown made by Brahmā, brilliant and with which in the days of yore Manu and other kings, born in his race, were installed. And being decked by the highsouled Vasistha with that crown, Rāghava was afterwards dressed with the celestial garments by the Rtvigas.* *A domestic chaplain a family priest.
