On hearing the sage's words Bharata was troubled at heart; for he was faced with
a hard puzzle at a difficult time. Then, realizing the weightiness of an elder's command
he adored the sage's feet and replied with joined palms, "Your orders must be
respectfully obeyed; this is my paramount duty, my lord." Bharata's reply pleased the
great sage (Bharadvåja), who called his trusty servants and pupils by his side. "Bharata
ought to be entertained; therefore, go and bring bulbs, roots and fruits." They bowed their
heads with the words 'very well, sir!' and most gladly proceeded to take charge of their
respective duties. The sage anxiously thought that he had invited a distinguished guest
and that a deity must be worshipped according to his or her rank. Hearing of this riches
of various kinds (Riddhis) and supernatural powers (Siddhis) like Aƒimå (the power of
assuming atomic size) appeared (in a visible form) and said, "We are prepared to do your
bidding, O lord." (1ó4)

"Bharata as well as his younger brother (›atrughna) and the whole company are
distressed due to their separation from Råma. Entertain them and relieve them of their
fatigue," the great sage gladly said. (213)

The riches and supernatural powers in their embodied forms bowed to the
command of the great sage and deemed themselves highly favoured. The Siddhis said
to one another, "›r∂ Råma's younger brother (Bharata) is a guest beyond compare.
Bowing at the sage's feet let us do that which may gratify the whole of the royal party.
So saying they erected beautiful dwellings of various patterns, which put to shame by
their appearance the aerial cars of gods. They were replete with abundant luxuries and
