अयोध्यावासियों सहित श्री भरत-शत्रुघ्न आदि का वनगमन – Departure of Shri Bharat and Shatrughan with the citizens of Ayodhya to the forest

"भरतजी के वचन सबको प्यारे लगे। मानो वे श्री रामजी के प्रेमरूपी अमृत में पगे हुए थे। श्री रामवियोग रूपी भीषण विष से सब लोग जले हुए थे। वे मानो बीज सहित मंत्र को सुनते ही जाग उठे॥1॥"

"Everyone was deeply moved by Bharat ji’s words, as though they were infused with the sweet nectar of Shri Ram’s love. His words worked like a powerful mantra (Vedic hymn), with a divine seed-syllable at their core. Hearing them, all those who had been scorched by the dreadful poison of Shri Ram’s separation felt their hearts calm, as if they had returned to life."
