sayers said, ìThe sneeze has come from an auspicious quarter! (The issue will be a
happy one.)î An old man thought over the meaning of the omen and exclaimed, ìLet us
go and meet Bharata; there will be no conflict. Bharata is out to persuade ›r∂ Råma to
return. The omen tells us that there will be no discord.î On hearing this Guha said, ìThe
old man says aright. Fools act precipitately and repent. If we come to a clash without
knowing Bharataís intentions and ascertaining his temper and disposition, we shall be
doing much harm to our own cause.î (1ó4)

ìI shall test his love on the touchstone of his friendly disposition; for hatred and
love cannot be disguised even if one tries to do so.î So saying he began to collect
articles for making a present and sent for bulbs, roots and fruits as well as birds and
deer. Men of the porter class also brought loads of fat and ripe fish of the På¢h∂na*
species. Thus equipping himself with presents he proceeded to meet Bharata and met
with auspicious and happy omens. As soon as he saw the chief of sages, Vasi¢ha, he
