Having heard that story, related by Rāma and concerning Ilā, Lakṣmaṇa and Bharata were exceedingly astonished.
तौ रामं प्राञ्जलीभूत्वा तस्य राज्ञो महात्मनः ।

Then, those two (Lakṣmaṇa and Bharata), joining their palms in reverence before Rāma, again asked about the detailed nature of that noble-souled king's experience (of transformation).

How did that king, after becoming a woman, endure such difficult circumstances? And what kind of life did he lead when he reverted to being a man?
तयोस्तद्भाषितं श्रुत्वा कौतूहलसमन्वितम् ।
कथयामास काकुत्ष्ठस्तस्य राज्ञो यथा गतम् ॥४॥

Having heard their curious discourse, Kakutstha recounted to that king what had transpired.

Indeed, for that first month, having transformed into a woman, she became a world-renowned beauty, surrounded by those women who had previously been his male attendants.

The world-renowned beauty, whose eyes resembled lotus petals, swiftly entered that forest, which was dense with trees, bushes, and creepers, and roamed about on foot.

Indeed, having completely abandoned all her vehicles, (Ilā) then found delight in that spacious mountain cavern.

Then, in that forest region, not far from the mountain, [she saw] a lake, exceedingly beautiful in appearance and filled with various flocks of birds.

Then, Ilā, in that place, saw Budha, the son of Soma, shining with his own form, like the full moon having risen.

And performing intense penance (tapas) in the midst of water, he was unapproachable; (he was also) powerful, moving freely as he wished, and established in youth.

O descendant of Raghu, she, astonished, agitated that entire lake along with those numerous men who had become women.

Just upon seeing her, Budha was so afflicted by the arrows of desire (kāma) that he lost awareness of himself (ātman) and staggered in the water.

As he gazed at Ilā, who was more beautiful and excellent than anything in the three worlds, he became overwhelmed by the thought, "Who indeed is this magnificent divine being?"

Never before have I seen anyone adorned with such beauty among goddesses, female serpents (nāgī), female demons (asurī), or celestial nymphs (apsaras).

"She would be perfect for me if she does not already belong to another," thinking thus, he came out of the water onto the land.

The righteous one (dharmātman) approached that hermitage and then summoned four women. And they, in turn, reverenced him.

17.
That righteous one (dharmātman) asked them, "Whose is this supremely beautiful woman? For what purpose has she come here? Tell me the truth, do not delay."

Having heard those indistinct words from those women, that twice-born (dvija) then activated a sacred, reanimating knowledge (vidyā).

Having completely understood the king's matter just as it had transpired, that foremost sage (munipuṅgava) then spoke to all those women.
अत्र किं पुरुषा भद्रा अवसञ् शैलरोधसि ।

Did any excellent men (puruṣa) reside here on the mountain slope? You all shall dwell on this mountain; let a suitable place be arranged.

All of you will perpetually sustain yourselves with roots, sprouts, and fruits. O women, you will indeed obtain Kimpuruṣas as husbands.
