The queen rejoiced to find ›r∂ Råma inclined towards her proposal and said with
a false show of affection, ìI swear by yourself and Bharata that no other cause of the
kingís affliction is known to me. You are hardly capable of any offence, dear son, a
source of delight that you are to your parents and brothers. What you say is all true; you
are devoted to the words of your father and mother. I adjure you to argue with your father
that he may not incur opprobrium in the evening of his life. It is hardly desirable for him
to disregard the virtues (truthfulness etc.) that have fetched him a son like you.î These
polite words adorned her detestable mouth even as sacred spots like Gayå beautify the
accursed land of Magadha (South Bihar). All these words from His stepmother sounded
pleasant to Råma in the same way as waters of all kinds are hallowed through their
confluence with the holy Ga∆gå. (1ó4)

The kingís spell of unconsciousness now left him; he remembered Råma and then
changed sides. And the minister (Sumantra) informed him of ›r∂ Råmaís arrival and made
humble submission to him in words appropriate to the occasion.

Hearing that ›r∂ Råma had come, the king recovered himself and opened his eyes.
The minister (Sumantra) helped his sovereign to a sitting posture, when the latter beheld
Råma falling at his feet. Overwhelmed with emotion the king clasped Him to his bosom
as though a serpent had regained its lost gem. The monarch kept gazing on ›r∂ Råma
and a torrent of tears streamed forth from his eyes. Overpowered with grief he could not
utter a word and pressed the prince to his heart again and again. He inwardly prayed to
God that the Lord of Raghus (›r∂ Råma) might not be able to proceed to the woods.
