Meaning

'So be it,' said Kakutstha with a joyful heart. Then those weapons, with divine radiant, embodied forms, bringers of bliss — some like glowing embers, some like smoke, some resembling the moon or sun — bowed to Rama with joined palms and spoke sweetly: 'Here we are, tiger among men, command us, what shall we do for you?'
