Then, setting the sandals on his head,
Bharata, glad at heart,
mounted his chariot
with Shatrughna at his side.
Vasishtha and Vamadeva,
and Jabali, firm in his vows,
all the ministers, honoured for counsel,
went on ahead.
Along the lovely Mandakini
they went, facing the east,
keeping on their right
the great mountain Chitrakuta.
Gazing at its thousand ores,
lovely, of many hues,
Bharata went along its flank,
and his army with him.
