Having performed His fatherís obsequies as prescribed in the Vedas the Lord,
who was a sun as it were to the darkness of sins, became pure again. The Lord whose
Name Itself is a fire to the cotton of sins and whose very thought is the root of all choice
blessings, attained purity even as the heavenly stream is consecrated by invoking into
it other sacred waters:* such is the verdict of holy men. When two days elapsed after
the purification, ›r∂ Råma affectionately said to the Guru: ìMy lord, all the people are sore
distressed, living as they do on bulbs, roots, fruits and water alone. When I behold
Bharata and his younger brother (›atrughna), the ministers and all my mothers, every
minute that passes seems an age to me. Therefore, pray return to the city with all; for
you are here and the king (my father) is in heaven (there is no one to look after the city).
I have said too much and all this amounts to gross presumption on my part. Now, my
lord, do what is proper.î (1ó4)

ìIt is no wonder, Råma, that you should speak like this, a bulwark of righteousness
and a home of compassion that you are. But grieved as the people are, let them derive
solace by enjoying your sight for a couple of days.î (248)

* The Ga∆gå, which is pure in itself, is consecrated only in name by invoking other sacred waters into
it; on the other hand, it lends purity to the waters that are invoked into it. Even so the Lord, who is all-pure,
attained purity in the eyes of the world by performing certain religious rites; while, as a matter of fact, the rites
themselves were consecrated from the time they were performed by the Lord.
