Sumantra had departed from the inner quarters to bring Rāma. But when he saw kings, brāhmaṇas and others waiting for King Daśaratha’s arrival by the gate with items ready for the coronation, he re-entered the inner quarters, praised Daśaratha and informed him of the same. Again, Daśaratha instructed him to bring Rāma and so Sumantra then went to Rāma’s residence to bring Him.
