Having been told of Sri Rama's departure for Chitrakuta by the spies of Guha and taking leave of the latter, Sumantra drives back to Ayodhya. Entering the royal gynaeceum, he submits to the Emperor what he reported earlier to the citizens who followed his chariot. Dasharatha and Kausalya fall into a swoon to hear about Sri Rama's departure for Chitrakuta and all the inmates of the gynaeceum burst into a wail from agony.Recitation: Translation:
