Auspicious omens occurred and the Niåda chief after hearing of and reflecting on
them said, ìAnxiety will pass away giving place to delight; but in the end there will be
sorrow.î (234)

Bharata knew every word of his servant (Guha) to be true; and proceeding
further he drew near to the hermitage. When he saw the forest and the mountain range,
he was as glad as a hungry man on getting excellent food. Just as a people tormented
by the fear of calamities* and afflicted by threefold troubles as well as by the influence
of evil stars and by pestilence feel happy on migrating to a well-governed and
prosperous country, Bharata too had similar feelings. The natural wealth of the forest
grew while ›r∂ Råma lived there, even as the people rejoice on securing a good king. The
charming forest was the sacred realm referred to here; Discretion was the king (who
ruled over it), while Dispassion was his counsellor. Likewise the five Yamas† and the

in every form), Aparigraha (depriving oneself of all possessions) and Asteya (non-stealing).
