Then, having heard the brahmin's speech, the scion of Raghu became desirous of hearing the story. Standing there, he skilfully checked the talk, (yet) it was heard by all at that moment: "How shall I listen to (a tale) that rests on my own self, being exceedingly wondrous, told otherwise, speaking of the harassment by demons?" Then the king said, "But what is this?"

Now then, Daśaratha, whose chariot was equal to ten chariots, with a very great force, desiring to conquer the city named Sumānasa, summoned Vasiṣṭha, the son of the son of the lotus-born one, and bowed to him; given leave by the sage, together with an army of a hundred akṣauhiṇīs, mounting a horse whose body was like the moon, filled with great wrath, having propitiated Viṣṭaraśravas (Viṣṇu), he made a punitive expedition.

Because he delighted the three worlds he made the name "Rāma"; because of (his) fitness for the splendour of beauty, valour and the rest, "Lakṣmaṇa" for the next; "he bears the earth across from its burden," hence Bharata; "he slays enemies," hence Śatrughna — having made these names, Brahmā went to his own abode, and the infants grew.

Then, in a mango grove only a krośa in front of Videha (the city) — a grove possessing forest fawns that pricked up their ears at hearing the various birds calling in the wide expanse of its many boughs; whose grounds were adorned with high and low mansions built of pure silver, and (which was) full of many birds; with its rows of trees graced by throngs of matted-haired sages, clad in golden bark, their bodies smeared with ash, absorbed in meditation and worship; furnished with a lake whose waves were stirred, overburdened by the weight of the breasts of many vidyādhara wives; where young men were being called by young serving-women gathered on the lake's shore; every part of it perfumed with the fragrance of many-coloured flowers; with courtesans of radiant, gleaming bodies, whose tremulous eyes, wide as a fish's, were displayed here and there out of desire for pleasure; filled with many marvels — there Daśaratha dwelt happily, together with his ministers and chaplains and with his charming sons, Rāma and the rest.

Then the king of Videha, for his part, further adorned Mithilā, (already) adorned with many banners; adorned with manifold palaces, gateway-towers, gardens and shrines of the gods; thronged with young folk skilled in mutual love-play; (a city) with great water-booths built of uśīra grass, its lanes graced by people at their pleasant play; its highways adorned with wares of every kind; with its schools here and there resounding with the chanting of the Veda; with the recitation of the Sāman at every temple, fit for exposition of Mīmāṃsā and the rest; with brahmins' quarters where one hears the fragrance of most holy oblations and the notes, words and krama-recitations of the Sāman and the other (Vedas); where, at the entrance to the mansions of many great men, the guise of the adhvaryus is (bright) with agarwood and saffron bought (there); adorned with people who carry off manifold gifts, (gifts) determined by the soft words, harsh words and hand-signs and the replies of lovely women whose lips are red with betel and whose garments are soft; with women graced by the region between their sleek, round, mutually pressing breasts, (visible) at the upper edge of the cloth wrapped about their soft, white hips, and graced by the bulb of the left shoulder; adorned with manifold pearl necklaces and with a thousand garland-makers, (the women's) teeth-lips like japā blossoms in gentle smiles; with houses where holy liquor is prepared; with variegated arches here and there; with spotless streets; with wishing-trees set up here and there; with doorways decorated with plantain trunks — thus he made the beautiful city beautiful.

"On the contrary, Daśaratha too is able to conquer all who have come, and Rāma is a destroyer of kṣatriyas. If he comes, what will he do with my daughter? What things will he send (as gifts)? What sort of (wedding) will he have made? And what will he do to me? In any case a king possessed of abundant forces and mounts could slay even the whole three worlds, let alone me, who am of little strength. Why say more — you alone are my refuge. Tell me the means whereby good fortune may come about in the marriage and Rāma may become (my) son-in-law."

Then, having stayed one day in a grove, having had his hair matted, having put on bark as his garment, wearing a single sacred thread, having cleaned his teeth, having bound up his matted hair with one thread, all his limbs dusted with ashes, his body made rough with ash, wearing on his chest a rosary of rudrākṣa beads interwoven with a string of pearls and gems, adorned with (only) scant ornaments, with Sītā as his companion and Lakṣmaṇa following him, he entered the depths of the forest.

Then he slew many Rākṣasas there; like Bhava (Śiva) he did everything (i.e. accomplished all). The whole matter too, beginning with the carrying off of Sītā — let it be by you (i.e. as it is known to you), just as it was. Rāma went to Sugrīva's hermitage, the mountain Ṛṣyamūka; reaching a mango tree of dense shade, with Lakṣmaṇa as his companion he made an enclosure. Having hung the two bows up on the tree, and having laid his head in the lap of the seated Lakṣmaṇa, lying on a bed of monkey-skin, hearing a song whose singer's form was unseen, and looking at the fruit of the tree, Rāma saw a certain monkey — with jewelled earrings, tawny-golden, with a firmly bound girdle of muñja grass and a loincloth, wearing a clear (white) sacred thread, exceedingly restless, who took a fruit and tossed it about himself, and scattered clusters of blossoms, and imitated the song, and fanned Rāma with a fan, and, having climbed a branch, likewise fanned (him), with just a mango fruit tied on — and having seen him, Rāma spoke to Lakṣmaṇa.
