1 On the pretext of having Lord Śrī Rāma come to see the āśramas of the various sages, they brought Him to Janasthāna so that He could kill Khara, Dūṣaṇa and their followers who disturbed the spiritual practices of those sages.
The strategy [employed by the great sages was to somehow bring Rāma there] on the pretext of showing Him their respective āśramas.1
