Leaving his party a couple of miles away on this side of the hermitage, Bharata enters it with Vasishta and Shatrughna. After exchange of compliments between Sages Vasishta and Bharadvaja, Bharata bows down at the feet of the latter, who enquires of his health and seeks to know his mind about Sri Rama. Bharata thereupon remorsefully apprises him of his intention to bring Rama back from the forest and questions him about his whereabouts. To this the sage replies that Sri Rama was sojourning on Mount Chitrakoota, and advises Bharata to see the latter the following morning.
