TRANSLATION

After offering the wooden shoes before Lord Ramacandra, Lord
Bharata stood with folded hands, His eyes full of tears, and Lord
Ramacandra bathed Bharata with tears while embracing Him with
both arms for a long time. Accompanied by mother Sita and
Laksmana, Lord Ramacandra then offered His respectful obei-
sances unto the learned brahmanas and the elderly persons in the
family, and all the citizens of Ayodhya offered their respectful
obeisances unto the Lord.
