There would not have been perceived the least difference between them and Rama had they not been clothed in dark and used clotted hair. The citizens and villagers speaking thus with one another Kuśa and Lava chanted twenty sections beginning from the first, pointed out by Narada.
ऊचुः परस्परं चेदं सर्व एव समाहिताः। उभौ रामस्य सदृशौ बिम्बाद्विम्बमिरोद्धतौ॥ जटिलौ यदि न स्यातां न वल्कलधरौ यदि। विशेष नाधिगच्छामो गायतो राघवस्य च॥ एवं प्रभाषमाणेषु पौरजानपदेषु च। प्रवृत्तमादितः पूर्वसर्ग नारददर्शितम्॥
