At the end of the night, the sūtas, māgadhas and others began to praise Bharata with musical accompaniment. Bharata immediately stopped it and spoke words of lamentation to Śatrughna. Vasiṣṭha entered the royal court and sent messengers to bring Bharata and others. Accompanied by His ministers and Śatrughna, Bharata entered the assembly hall where Vasiṣṭha and others were seated.
