nija ura måla basana mani bålitanaya pahiråi,
bidå k∂nhi bhagavåna taba bahu prakåra samujhåi.18(B).
Hearing A∆gadaís humble entreaty Lord ›r∂ Råma, the perfection of tenderness,
raised him and clasped him to His bosom, His lotus eyes streaming with tears.
Investing Våliís son (A∆gada) with the garland that hung on His own bosom as well as
with His own robes and jewels, the Lord then sent him away with many words of
consolation. (18 A-B)

Conscious of the devoteesí services, Bharata as well as his younger brother
(›atrughna) and Lakmaƒa (Sumitråís son) proceeded to see them off. A∆gadaís heart
was so full of love that he would turn again and again to have one more look at ›r∂ Råma.
He would repeatedly prostrate himself on the ground and expected that ›r∂ Råma might ask
him to stay on. He became sad as he recalled the characteristic way in which ›r∂ Råma
looked, talked, walked and smilingly greeted His friends. But when he perceived in the
Lordís look what was in His mind, he departed with many a word of prayer, impressing His
lotus-feet on his heart. Having seen all the monkeys off with utmost respect, Bharata and
his younger brothers returned. Then Hanumån (who had evidently accompanied his
master to see him off) clasped the feet of Sugr∂va and sought his favour in many ways :
ìAfter spending ten more days in the service of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus), if you
please, I will see your feet again, my master.î ìA storehouse of merit as you are, O son of
the wind-god, you go and serve the All-merciful.î So saying, all the monkeys forthwith
departed. A∆gada, however, tarried to say, Listen, Hanumån:ó (1ó5)
