are enough to bring good gortune to the entire mankind.Rama touched the padukas with his feet and gave them to Bharatha.Bharatha took them with reverence and respect and paid tribute to the padukas.He told Rama in no uncertain terms that he too would lead the life of a sage ,wear cotton dresses,take fruits and tubers as if in forest.He would keep Ramas padukas on the throne and rule the copuntry on behalf of Rama.He would live outside the Ayodhya AND EAGERLY AWAIT Ramas arrival.He would stay like that exaxtly for fourteen years.If by next day,Rama does not return ,then he would Kill himself by getting into the fire ie agnipravesam.
Rama accepted Bharathas conditions.SriRama hugged Bharatha and Sathrughna.He cautioned BHaratha again.He strictly directed Bharatha not to ill treat Kaikeyi at any time.He has to shower love and affection for her.He shoul never make her angry.He is taking the oath on himself and Seetha if he crosses this.
Bharatha decorated Ramas padukas beautifully and prayed to them.Then he went round Rama with reverence and kept them on the head of of an elephant by name,Sathrunjayamu.
Rama treated his teachers,ministers,peoplewith due respect for alland gave fair send off to them.He did namaskarams to his mothersand gave send off to the also.But they did not observe his act and stood there weeping.Then Rama himself went into the parnasaala leaving them to leave the forest.
