As the people suddenly saw that foremost of men, the sinless and illustrious Rāma seated on the ground, accusing Kaikeyi as well as the vile Mantharā, the people apprached Rāma, with their countenances discovering tears.
ततस्तं पुरुषव्याघ्रं यशस्विनमकल्मषम्। आसीनं स्थण्डिले रामं ददर्श सहसा जनः॥ विगर्हमाणः कैकेयीं मन्थरा सहितामपि। अभिगम्य जनो रामं बाष्पपूर्णमुखोऽभवत्॥
