Reading Diary A Week 5: Dasharathas death.

King Dasharatha is found dead by Kausalya. Bharata receives the news from some messengers since he is away at his grandfather’s house. After Dasharatha is cremated an entourage goes to find Rama in the forest. That entourage even includes the queens. After several other encounters Bharata and the entourage are directed to find Rama at the Chitakura.

Bharata finds Rama and shares the news of Dasharathas death.  Rama refuses to return until his excile is over so Bharata rules in his place till Rama can return. Bharata places Rama’s shoes on the throne until Rama’s return as well.

Sita receives a gift from Atri’s wife Anasuya. They also meet with the sage Agastya’s who is known for lowering the heights of the Vindhya hills. He gifts Rama with a bow. It is an upgrade from the one he had. The Valakhilyas ask Rama to go to war with the demons. Of course like an good wife, Sita tries to talk Rama out of it. She wants to protect her great husband from danger. Rama then tells Sita the story of the Valakhilyas and how they were scorned because they were so small.
