Chapter 33: Rāma, Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa Depart to Meet Daśaratha
Chapter Summary

After Lord Rāma distributed His wealth to the brāhmaṇas, He departed to Daśaratha’s residence with Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa to see him. Seeing them on route to Daśaratha’s palace, the people became agitated in their minds in sorrow. Despite their talks, Rāma’s mind was unchanged. Having entered Daśaratha’s residence, He requested Sumantra who was there to inform His father that He had arrived.
