He performed the Vaiśvadeva sacrifice, the bali-haraṇa ritual to offer the sacrificial meat to the deities, the sacrifice for Lord Rudra and the sacrifice for Lord Viṣṇu. Then Rāma engaged in other auspicious activities to remove inauspiciousness in the residence, uttered Vedic mantras as appropriate, took bath again in the river according to the scriptural injunction, warded off sinful creatures and made excellent offerings to all creatures.1
1 Rāmāyaṇa-bhūṣaṇa: pūrvaṁ vaiśvadeva-rūpa-balim ity arthaḥ atra sarva-bhūta-baliḥ.
“Rāma engaged in other auspicious activities to remove inauspiciousness in the residence” indicates that He performed activities such as the Puṇyāha-vācana and recitation of the Śānti mantras.
[Authorities] state that Rāma took bath once again because the Smṛti states—tataḥ sarvauṣadhī-snānaṁ yajamānasya kārayet: “One should make the sponsor [of the sacrifice] take bath with water that has touched all medicinal herbs.”
“He warded off sinful creatures” refers to Lord Rāma’s warding off the cruel ghostly beings—those that roam in the day and those that roam in the night.
