Early the next morning, Bharadvāja instructed Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa about the path to Citrakūṭa from his āśrama when They were ready to go. Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa made a raft with wood and grass and crossed Yamunā with Sītā. Then, while walking, on the order of Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa fetched fruits and flowers as desired by Sītā. In the evening, they reached a place to reside in on the bank of Yamunā.
