सर्गः १३
In which Brāhmaṇas prepare Gaṅgā water and golden vessels, miss the absent king, and Sumantra hastens to Rāma palace
Brāhmaṇas ministers merchants gather for consecration — Gaṅgā waters golden vessels whisk umbrella prepared — White bull horse elephant and maidens wait — Assembly misses unseen king at sunrise — Sumantra greets kings and seeks palace door — Sumantra hails waking king with blessings — Daśaratha orders Rāma brought quickly — Sumantra hears Rāma talk on flagged highway — Sumantra reaches and enters Rāma Kailāsa-like mansion
