After having passed four days on the way, they arrived at Videha. And bearing of Dasaratha's arrival, the auspicious king Janaka experienced great delight, and having obtained the aged king Dasaratha, he honoured him duly.
गत्वा चतुरहं मार्ग विदेहानभ्युपेयिवान्। राजा च जनकः श्रीमाऽश्रुत्वा पूजामकल्पयत्॥ ततो राजानमासाद्य वृद्धं दशरथं नृपम्। मुदितो जनको राजा प्रहर्षं परमं ययौ॥
