Hearing the words of the king and bowing him with his head down, he issued out of the king's residence, thinking that some great good was awaiting. And having reached the public roads adorned with flags and pennons, he, filled with an excess of joy, began to wend his way, casting his look around. There on his way he heard the passers by, all talking about Rāma and his installation, as if brimming with joy on that account.
इति राजा दशरथः सूतं तत्रान्वशात् पुनः। स राजवचनं श्रुत्वा सिरसा प्रतिपूज्य तम्॥ निर्जगाम नृपावासान्मन्यमानः प्रियं महत्। प्रपन्नो राजमार्ग च पताकाध्वजशोभितम्॥ हृष्टः प्रमुदितः सूतो जगामाशु विलोकयन्। स सूतस्तत्र शुश्राव रामाधिकरणाः कथाः॥ अभिषेचनसंयुक्ताः सर्वलोकस्य हृष्टवत्।
