While Bharata is contemplating to undertake a journey to meet Sri Rama, Satrughna blames Lakshmana for failing to restrain his father and forcibly prevent Sri Rama's exile. In the meantime Bharata catches sight of Manthara standing at the door decked with ornaments and points to her as the root of all mischief. Satrughna thereupon pounces upon the maidservant standing in the midst of her companions and, seizing her by her locks, drags her on the floor and reproaches Kaikeyi too. On the latter pleading for mercy on Manthara's behalf, Bharata intervenes and Satrughna lets her go.
