Summary of contents: Having reached the bank of the Tamasa and thinking of the plight of the people of Ayodhya, Shri Rama lays himself down on a bed of leaves bewailing the lot of his parents and feeling reassured by the thought of Bharata’s noble qualities; while Lakshmana opens his dialogue with Sumantra on the divine excellences of Shri Rama. Waking up in the meantime, Shri Rama urges the charioteer-minister to drive the chariot in such a way as to put the citizens that had accompanied them off the scent and lead them to think that the chariot had turned back towards Ayodhya instead of proceeding towards the forest. He then mounts the chariot along with Sita and Lakshmana and presses on to the forest
