It is a rare opportunity to even Brahma, Saraswati, Rukmini, Parvati, Sita, and Lakshmana. Holding tambura elegantly at dawn, singing well the praise of Rama, offering milk sumptuously to Rama who bestows wealth, who is like chintamani (precious stone that fulfills wishes) to devotees, is very pleasant. Giving holy bath to Lord Rama in scented water early in the morning, serving him a hearty meal, offering Him tasty tamboolam (betel leaves with nuts and spcies) without fail is very pleasant. Singing melodiously in various ragas by the devotional singers, lighting prayer lamps to worship the Lord, arranging a comfortable bed of flowers, singing soft songs to lull the Lord to sleep and again waking Him up early in the morning singing devotional songs in praise of the Lord of Tyagaraja is a very pleasant sight.
