Enjoined by Sage Vasishtha, Sri Rama undertakes a vow to bathe early next morning, worship the gods and sleep for the night on a mat of Kusha grass. On waking up the next morning, he says his Sandhya prayers and Brahmanas wish him a propitious day. The citizens decorate the city in order to give it a festal appearance and it is thronged with men eager to witness the installation of Sri Rama as Prince Regent.
