ìOtherwise our welfare, O lord, passed away with the king of Kosala, whose
death has left the whole world, particularly Mithilå (Janakaís capital) and Ayodhyå,
masterless.î (270)

On hearing of the demise of King Da‹aratha (the lord of Ayodhyå) the people of
Janakapura were all mad with grief. No one who saw King Videha at that time took his
name (Videha) to have any truth behind it. When the king heard of Queen Kaikey∂ís
wickedness, he was as nonplussed as a serpent without its gem. Prince Bharata
crowned king and the Chief of Raghus, ›r∂ Råma, exiled into the woods! The news
caused deep agony to the heart of Mithilåís lord! The king called together a council of
wise men and minister and said, ìTell me after careful deliberation what ought to be done
now.î But realizing the conditions at Ayodhyå and the difficulty in either case nobody
gave any definite opinion whether he should go or stay at home. The king now collected
himself and after calm reflection despatched four clever spies to Ayodhyå with the
following instructions: ëAscertain whether Bharata means well or ill and come back at
once without being recognized.í (1ó4)

The spies went to Ayodhyå and having ascertained Bharataís ways and seen
his doings they proceeded back to Tirahuta (Mithilå) the moment the latter left for
Citrakµu¢a.
