Verse 29

²⁶The king heard what the twice-born said, knew the heart of the assembly, and glad, overcome with affection, did honour to the lord of the senses. ²⁷He washed his two feet and carried that water, which makes the worlds clean, on his head gladly, with his wife and his younger brothers, his ministers and his household. ²⁸He honoured him with cloths of yellow silk and with ornaments of great price, and his eyes were so full of tears that he could not look straight at him. ²⁹Seeing him honoured so, all the people folded their hands and bowed to him with homage and with victory, and showers of flowers came down.
