state property and, entrusting the reins of government to the ministers, the Guru (the
sage Vasi¢ha) and Bharata, he left for Tirahuta (his capital) after making all necessary
preparations. Following the preceptorís advice the men and women of the city ensconced
themselves in ›r∂ Råmaís capital (Ayodhyå). (1ó4)

All the people practised religious austerities and fasted in order to be able to see
Råma again. Discarding all personal adornments and sensuous pleasures they survived
in the hope that the term of his exile would expire soon. (322)

Bharata instructed the ministers and trusty servants, who set about their
respective duties as directed. Then, calling his younger brother (›atrughna), he
admonished him and entrusted him with the service of all their mothers. Summoning
the Bråhmaƒas he made obeisance and, joining his palms, prayed to them with due
courtesy befitting their age: ìPray charge me with any dutyóhigh or low, good or
indifferentóand hesitate not.î He also sent for his kinsmen, citizens and other people
and setting their mind at rest established them peacefully. Accompanied by his younger
brother (›atrughna) he then called on his preceptor and, prostrating himself before him,
submitted with joined palms, ìWith your permission I will now live a life of penance.î
Thrilling over with love the sage replied,îWhatever you think, speak or do will be the
essence of piety in this world.î (1ó4)
