Thus the great King Pṛthu, exquisitely dressed with garments and ornaments, was coronated and placed on the throne. The King and his wife, Arci, who was also exquisitely ornamented, appeared exactly like fire.

Gauḍīya
Translation
Pṛthu, having been bathed, ornamented properly and dressed finely, along with his ornamented wife Arci, appeared like a second fire.
Personal Guidance
Pṛthu and Arci, ornamented, on the throne, appeared like fire. When divine couple takes its proper position, the visual effect is consuming and unmistakable.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I afraid to fully take my proper position because of how visible it would make me?
- What does it look like to be 'on the throne' in my actual life, with appropriate ornament?
