Learning from envoys at (Śrngaverapura) all about Rāma's visit to Bharadvāja at Prayāga and his reception (at Bharadvāja's place) as well as their destined journey (to Citrakuta), Sumantra, taking the permission (of Guha), yoked those excellent horses and with a heavy heart directed his course to the city of Ayodhyā.
भरद्वाजाभिगमनं प्रयागे च सभाजनम्। आ गिरेर्गमनं तेषां तत्रस्थैरभिलक्षितम्॥ अनुज्ञातः सुमन्त्रोऽथ योजयित्वा हयोत्तमान्। अयोध्यामेव नगरी प्रययौ गाढदुर्मनाः॥
