Going clockwise around Dasharatha (as a token of respect),  Sita, Rama and Lakshmana greet him. Accompanied by Sita, Sri Rama salutes Kausalya. Lakshmana too hails Kausalya first and then his own mother, Sumitra. Sumitra for her part tenders salutary advice to her son. The princes and the princesss having mounted the chariot, Sumantra flicks the horses. The citizens that had assembled closely follow the chariot; but unable to keep pace with its swift movement, they return desolate. Dasaratha too runs after the chariot along with Kausalya and others, but being unable to to walk begins to totter and stops short on the road yielding to the remonstrances of his wise ministers.
