Bharatha was tense because of so many facors. He could not understand ehy the ministers made him come to Ayodhya in haste. Added to that he got frightening dreams the previous night.They travelled seven days and nights continuously and he could see Ayodhya from distance.City had a bleak look. It appeared as though it was not inhabited for along time. There was pindrop and melancholy silence all over.No one was to be seen and Bharatha felt as if he were in a jungle.

As before no one was moving in the roadsbe chariots, there were no women and men enjoting in the gardens,Even trees shed their leaves in melancholy.Bharatha became more depressed seeing all this plight.He entered the city through a door named Vaijayanthi.

Bharata started asking the chariot driver as to the real reason behind all these developments. He himself is saying that unless a great calamity like the death of a king happens the city would not in such a pathetic state.People were seen weeping by him.Being disturbed thus ,he went to his fathers palace. He could not find his father there.Then he went to his mother.
