Hearing those words affording great delight, Bharata, the slayer of
enemies, having truth for his prowess, delighted, ordered Satrughna,
(saying),--"Let all people being purified worship all the deities and
altars of the city with fragrant garlands and diverse music. Let all the
bards conversant with the chanting of the pedigree, the flatterers, all
those conversant with music, the dancing girls, the queens, the
courtiers, the soldiers with their wives, Brahmanas, Kshatryas, and
people of all other castes, issue out to behold the moon-like
countenance of Rama". Hearing the words of Bharata, Satrughna, the
slayer of enemies, divided the work amongst the servants, (saying),--"Do
ye level the high and low ground from Nandigram to (Ayodhya). Do ye
perfectly water the ground with cold water. Thereafter sprinkle all the
places with flowers and dried paddy; hoist up flags all over the city;
decorate all the houses, before the rising of the moon with garlands,
jewels, flowers of gold and things of five other colours. Let hundreds
of men watch the thorough-fares". Hearing the command of Satrughna,
issued out with delight Dhristi, Jayanta, Vijaya, Siddartha,
Arthasadhaka, Asoka, Mantrapala and Sumantra. Thereupon issued out men
on horse back and in cars with thousands of mad elephants well-decked
with pennons and she-elephants with golden seats (on their backs). And
some heroes proceeded encircled by a thousand excellent steeds and
persons carrying _Sakti_, _Risthi_, maces and pennons and thousands of
infantry. Thereupon proceeded Sumitra and all other wives of Dacaratha
placing Kaucalya before them and seated in excellent conveyances. And
hearing of the return of his brother and attaining to delight, the
high-souled and pious Bharata, reduced with fasting, poorly, wearing
bark and skin of an antelope and conversant with religion, issued out to
receive back Rama in the company of his counsellors and encircled by the
twice-born ones, the people of diverse castes, his own relations and
kinsmen and ministers with garlands and _Modaka_[496] in their hands,
eulogized by the bards, having his arrival announced with the sound of
conchs and bugles and placing the sandals of his worshipful brother on
his head and taking white umbrella adorned with white garlands and white
_Chowries_ decked with gold and worthy of being used by the kings.
Thereupon with the sound of the horses' hoofs and cars, conchs and
bugles the earth shook. And the whole city went to Nandigram. And
beholding the Wind-god's son, Bharata said,--"Didst thou not resort to
the usual fickleness of the monkeys? We do not behold the worshipful
Rama, the descendant of Kakutstha--the slayer of foes. Nor do we behold
the monkeys assuming shapes at will". Having been addressed with those
words, Hanuman replied, communicating unto Bharata, having truth for his
prowess, the truth,--"Having reached the trees, covered by the favour of
Varadwaja, with fruits and flowers and pouring honey, the monkeys are
emitting noise like maddened black bees. O slayer of foes, this boon was
granted him (Rama) by Vasava. (Varadwaya) is treating him with his army
with all hospitality. Hear the dreadful noise of the delighted monkeys.
Methinks the monkey host hath crossed the river Gomati. Behold the huge
upheaval of dust towards the _Sala_ forest. Methinks the monkeys are
agitating the graceful _Sala_ forest. Behold there at the distance the
car resembling the Sun. This celestial car _Pashpaka_, constructed by
Brahma's mind, was obtained by the high-souled (Rama) after having slain
Ravana with his friends. This celestial car, resembling the newly risen
Sun, coursing at will and carrying Rama (was gained) by the favour of
the Giver of wealth. (There are) the two heroic brothers--the
descendants of Raghu with Yaidehi, the highly effulgent Sugriva and the
Rakshasa Bibhishana. Thereupon with the sound of "there is Rama" there
arose a joyous noise reaching the abode of the celestials from among
women, children, the young and the old. Thereupon descending upon the
earth from chariots, elephants and horses all people beheld him (Rama)
stationed on the car like unto the moon in the sky. And facing Raghava
and with folded hands Bharata delightedly worshipped him with agreeable
words, _Arghya_ and water to wash his feet. There appeared in the car
constructed by Brahma's mind the elder brother of Bharata having
expansive eyes like the immortal wielder of thunder-bolt. Thereupon
Bharata humbly saluted his brother Rama seated on the top of the car
like unto the Sun on the summit (of the mount Meru). And commanded by
Rama that excellent car drawn by ganders got down on the earth with
great velocity. And ascending that car, Bharata, having truth for his
prowess, reaching Rama, delighted, again bowed unto him. And raising
Bharata up who had been seen after a long time and placing him on his
lap Kakutstha, delighted, embraced him. There-upon Bharata, the slayer
of foes, bowed unto Vaidehi and welcomed Lakshmana. And the son of
Kaikeyi (then in turn) embraced Sugriva, Jambavana, Angada, Mainda,
Dwivida, Nila and Rishava. And he then embraced Sushena, Nala, Gabaksha,
Gandhamadana, Sarabha, and Panasa. And assuming human shapes, those
monkeys, assuming shapes at will, delightedly enquired after Bharata's
well-being. And embracing Sugriva, the foremost of monkeys, the highly
effulgent prince Bharata, the foremost of the pious, said--" O Sugriva,
thou art our fifth brother. From brotherliness groweth friendship and
doing injury is the sign of an enemy". And Bharata then addressed
Bibhishana with soothing words--"It is by fortune that through your help
he hath accomplished such a difficult work". Thereupon the heroic
Satrughna saluting Rama and Lakshmana, respectfully bowed unto Sita. And
having approached his mother, pale and pulled down with grief, Rama
humbly touched her feet and enhanced her delight. And thereupon saluting
Sumitra, famed Kaikeyi and all his mothers he approached the priests.
Thereupon all the citizens with folded hands welcomed him
saying--"Welcome art thou, O thou of long arms! O thou the enhancer of
Kaucalya's joy!" And the elder brother of Bharata observed the folded
hands of the citizens like so many blown lotuses. And himself taking the
sandals of Rama, Bharata, conversant with piety, placed them at the feet
of that lord of men. Thereupon Bharata with folded hands spoke unto
Rama, saying--"This all thy kingdom, which thou didst leave to my care,
I return thee. Blessed is my birth to-day and accomplished is my desire,
since I behold thee again as king in Ayodhya after thy return. Do thou
examine thy wealth, treasury, palace and army. By thy favour I have
increased all these ten fold". Hearing Bharata speak in that wise and
beholding him devoted to his brother all the monkeys and the Rakshasa
Bibhishana shed tears. Thereupon placing Bharata, in delight, on his
lap, Raghava, with his army in that car, proceeded towards Bharata's
abode. And reaching Bharata's palace Raghava with his army descended
upon the earth. Thereupon Rama said to the excellent car--"Do thou (now)
go to _Vaisravana_--I do permit thee". Thereupon being thus commanded by
Rama, that excellent car, proceeding towards the north, reached the
abode of the Giver of wealth. That celestial car _Pushpaka_ had been
taken away by the Rakshasa (Ravana); but now at the words of Rama it
reached (again) the Giver of wealth. And touching the feet of his priest
the powerful Raghava sat on a separate and excellent seat like unto
Sakra, the lord of immortals (by the side of) _Vrihashpati_.
