Text 3.16.41
इत्येवं विलपंस्तत्र प्राप्य गोदावरीं नदीम्।
चक्रेऽभिषेकं काकुत्स्थः सानुजः सह सीतया॥
ity evaṁ vilapaṁs tatra prāpya godāvarīṁ nadīm
cakre ’bhiṣekaṁ kākutsthaḥ sānujaḥ saha sītayā
iti evam vilapan = lamenting like this; tatra = there; prāpya = came and; godāvarīm = Godāvarī; nadīm = to the river; cakre abhiṣekam = took His bath; kākutsthaḥ = Kākutstha; sa-anujaḥ = with His younger brother; saha = and with; sītayā = Sītā-devī.
Lamenting like this, Kākutstha came to the river Godāvarī with His younger brother and with Sītā-devī, and took His bath there.
“Lamenting like this” indicates that He spoke many words out of affection for Bharata.
