Vasishtas advise to kaikeyi

Kaikeyi brought rough cotton sarees to Seetha.Seetha did not know how to wear them. She felt ashamed and asked Rama as how to wear them. Then Rama draped them around her silk saree.Everyone who saw that wept at their plight .They requested that as Seetha was not asked to goto forest, she could as well stay at Ayodhya.But Rama did not heed their words.

Vasishta got angry and started scolding Kaikeyi.He told that Seetha need not go to forest. So, they would make her sit on throne and make her rule the country.Everyone in Ayodhya would go along with Rama to the woods and she alone with her son would live in Ayodhya.If Bharatha was a genuine son of Dasaradha he would not accept the throne given under protest.Hewould not care her.She was not helping Bharatha but harming him.Everyone started abusing Dasaradha.

Rama consoled Dasaradha and told him to look after his mother till he returned.

Dasaradha then directed Sumanthra to bring the chariot and bring sarees and ornaments for Seetha for fourteen years.
