The people of Ayodhya were eagerly waiting for the arrival of the outskirts of the kingdom. Soon, the princes arrived in the grand chariot. When they saw the four handsome princes, they felt very happy. The joyous people led them to the city. The princes looked around and saw that the city had been decorated with lights and flowers to welcome them. As they approached the palace the four princes grew even more eager to see their parents.
When the chariot reached the royal palace, first of all, Rama got down from it. He saw mother Kaikeyee at the door of the palace. He rushed to her and touched her feet reverentially. Kaikeyee hugged him with love. Then Rama turned to Kaushaiya and Sumitra and touched their feet too. Meanwhile, Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughana also alighted from the chariot and touched theirs mothers’ feet. Then the princes went to meet their father. They touched his feet respectfully.
When King Dashratha saw his son’s faces shining with learning and their well-built physique, his heart swelled with joy and pride.
The king ordered food and alms to be to all the poor in the kingdom. He celebrated his son’s homecoming after long time.
