Daśaratha humbly requested Vasiṣṭha to take on the full responsibility of carrying out the sacrifice. Vaisiṣṭha organized all the people required to carry out all the activities of the sacrifice. He then arranged for Sumantra to call for kings from all places. With the permission of Vasiṣṭha and Ṛśyaśṛṅga, Daśaratha entered the sacrificial arena at an auspicious time with others.
