Now Hari (Rāma) has driven his chariot forth to the jungle.
His father and mother are weeping.
Kaushilya[38] stood up and said, ‘Now, whom shall I call my diamond and my ruby?’
Dasrath went to the tower of his palace to see his son;
As Rāma’s chariot set forth under the shade of the trees, he wished that he might die.
Bharat ran after his brother with naked feet.
He said, ‘Oh brother, you are going to the forest, to whom do you give the kingdom of Oudh?’
Rāma said, ‘When fourteen years have passed away I shall come back from the jungles. Till then I give the kingdom to you.’
The following is a love dialogue:
Make a beautiful garden for me to see my king.
