Halting on the bank of the Sa∂* river they resumed their journey at daybreak and
the whole party drew near to ›æ∆gaverapura†. When the Niåda chief (Guha) heard the
whole story, he anxiously thought within himself: ìWhat motive can Bharata have in
journeying to the woods? He must have some evil design at heart. If he had no
mischievous intention at heart, why should he have brought an army with him? He must
have thought that after killing Råma and his younger brother (Lakmaƒa) he would reign
peacefully and happily. But Bharata did not take to heart the maxims of sound polity;
latterly he brought on himself stigma alone but this time he will meet a sure death. If all
the warriors among the gods and demons combine against ›r∂ Råma, even they will fail
to conquer him in battle. But what wonder that Bharata should behave as he is doing;
for venomous plants, after all, can never bear fruits of ambrosia.î (1ó4)

Pondering thus Guha said to his kinsmen, ìBe alert all of you; collect the boats
and sink them and blockade the ghats (flight of steps leading to the river landingplace).î

* The Sa∂ rises about midway between the Gomat∂ and the Ga∆gå and falls into the former 10 miles
below the city of Jaunpur.
† The site of the ancient ›æ∆gaverapura is marked by a village bearing the same name under the
modernized form ëSingraurí 22 miles to the north-west of Allahabad. The Ga∆gå has changed its course and
only a small branch now flows through the old channel.
