Hearing this advice and receiving the great blessing (from his preceptor) Bharata
called astrologers and, fixing an auspicious day (and hour), happily installed on the
throne of Ayodhyå the wooden sandals of the Lord. (323)

Bowing his head at the feet of ›r∂ Råmaís mother (Kausalyå) and his preceptor
(the sage Vasi¢ha) and receiving the permission of the Lordís sandals, Bharata, a
staunch upholder of righteousness, erected a hut of leaves at Nandigråma and took up
his abode there. Wearing a tuft of a matted locks on his head and clad in hermitís
robes, he dug the earth low and spread thereon a litter of Ku‹a grass. In food, dress,
utensils, sacred observances and austerities he devoutly practised the rigid vow of
hermits and professedly discarded, in thought, word and deed, all adornments of body,
wearing apparel and the many pleasures of the sense. The sovereignty of Ayodhyå
was the envy even of Indra (the lord of celestials), while the very report of the riches
possessed by Da‹aratha put to shame even Kubera (the god of riches); yet in that city
Bharata dwelt as indifferent as a bee in a garden of Campaka* flowers. The blessed
souls who are devoted to ›r∂ Råma renounce like vomit the splendour of Lakm∂ (the
wealth and enjoyments of the world). (1ó4)

*Even though the Campaka flower is very sweet-scented, the bee, it is alleged, never sucks it.
