On the twelfth day, Bharata and Śatrughna carried out all aspects of the Śrāddha ceremony and distributed wealth, jewels and such items to brāhmaṇas as part of that ceremony. On the thirteenth day, Bharata went to the site of the funeral pyre to execute the ceremony of collecting the bones of the king. Bharata lamented and fell on the ground in a state of perplexity. Śatrughna also fell on the ground and lamented in various ways. Then Vasiṣṭha and Sumantra consoled both of them and relatives of the two brothers requested Them to quickly conduct the remaining portion of the ceremony.
