Because of his bad dreams at night, Daśaratha became worried about obstacles to the coronation of Rāmacandra as his heir apparent. He again called for Rāma and informed Him that the time for the coronation would be even before Bharata arrives at Ayodhyā. He instructed Rāma to fast with Sītā-devī that night and carry out the required vows. With Daśaratha’s permission, Rāma entered Kausalyā’s inner quarters and accepted her blessings and returned to His home with Sītā who had arrived at Kausalyā’s quarters before Him.
