ìListen, brother: what you say is quite true: your treasury and palaces are all My
own. But, when I recollect Bharataís condition, every moment that passes seems an age
to Me. Clad in the robes of a hermit, with wasted body he constantly repeats My name.
Therefore, take steps, My friend, I beseech you, that I may soon be able to see him
again. If, on the other hand, I reach there on the expiry of the term of My exile, I do not
expect to find My brother alive.î And even as the Lord recalled His brotherís affection He
felt a thrill all over His body again and again. ìAs for yourself, you shall enjoy sovereignty
till the end of creation, inwardly thinking of Me all the time; and then you shall ascend to
My abode, the destination of all holy men.î (116 AóD)

Delighted to hear ›r∂ Råmaís words, Vibh∂aƒa clasped the feet of the All-merciful.
The monkeys and bears too all rejoiced and, clasping the Lordís feet, began to recount
His sacred virtues. Then Vibh∂aƒa withdrew to his palace and had his celebrated aerial
car loaded with precious stones and articles of dress. He then brought the aerial car,
Pupaka as it was called, and set it before the Lord; and the All-merciful thereupon
smilingly said, ìListen, my friend, Vibh∂aƒa; step into the aerial car and rising into the air,
scramble the clothes and ornaments.î Vibh∂aƒa immediately rose into the air and
dropped down all the jewels and raiment. The monkeys picked up whatever each took
a fancy to; they put precious stones into their mouth (thinking them to be some edible
substance) but would throw them away (the moment they realized their mistake). ›r∂
Råma as well as ›r∂ (S∂tå) and His younger brother (Lakmaƒa) felt amused at the sight,
exceedingly playful as the All-merciful is. (1ó4)
