Much afflicted at heart like the male and female Cakravåka birds, the men and
women of the city longed for the dawn. They kept awake the whole night till it was
daybreak, when Bharata summoned his wise counsellors and said to them, ìTake all that
is necessary for the installations ceremony; the sage (Vasi¢ha) will crown ›r∂ Råma
even in the forest. Start expeditiously.î Hearing this the ministers greeted him and had
the horses, chariots and elephants immediately equipped. Taking with him his wife,
Arundhat∂, and the requisites for Agnihotra* (offering oblations into the sacred fire) the
chief of sages, Vasi¢ha, was the first to mount the chariot and led the way. Hosts of
Bråhmaƒas, who were all repositories of austerity and spiritual glow followed in vehicles
of various kinds. The people of the city followed next; having equipped their own
conveyances they all left for Citrakµu¢a. All the queens journeyed in palanquins which
were lovely beyond words. (1ó4)

Leaving the city in the charge of faithful servants and respectfully sending the
whole party ahead, the two brothers, Bharata and ›atrughna, started last of all,
remembering the feet of ›r∂ Råma and S∂tå.

* In ancient times, as a general rule, every Bråhmaƒa maintained the sacred fire and kept it
perpetually alive till his death, when he was cremated with the same fire. He carried it with him wherever he
went and poured oblations into it every morning and evening.
