Daśaratha lamented upon hearing Kausalyā’s harsh words and while remembering his former sinful act of killing the son of a sage that was destined to cause him to die in separation from his own son. He then joined his palms in supplication and appeased Kausalyā. Saddened by her husband’s appeasal, Kausalyā offered her respects to him and pacified him. The king then fell asleep.
