Seized with a longing for the sight of ›r∂ Råma, all the people, including both men
and women, headed with the same zeal as male and female elephants rush in pursuit
of water. Realizing in their heart that S∂tå and Råma were in the woods Bharata and
his younger brother journeyed on foot. Seeing their affection the people were overcome
with emotion and dismounting walked on foot, leaving their horses, elephants and
chariots. Going up to Bharata ›r∂ Råmaís mother (Kausalyå) stopped her palanquin by
his side and spoke in soft accents, ìI adjure you by my life to mount the chariot, dear
child; or else all our near and dear ones will be put to trouble. If you walk on foot the
whole party will follow suit and you know they are all wasted with sorrow and hardly
fit to undertake the journey on foot.î Reverently obeying her command and bowing their
head at her feet the two brothers mounted their chariot and proceeded on the journey.
They halted the first day on the bank of the Tamaså* river and made the next halt on
the bank of the Gomat∂. (1ó4)

Some of them lived on milk and some on fruits; while others took their meals by
night. Renouncing ornaments and luxuries they observed vows and fasts for the sake
of ›r∂ Råma. (188)

river about 10 miles from Ayodhyå and after flowing past the town of Azamgarh falls into the Sarayµu.
