सर्गः ४८
In which Bharadvāja welcomes the tired foot-worn exiles at holy Prayāga and sends them to dwell on Chitrakūṭa hill
Exiles leave tree toward Gaṅgā Yamunā meeting — Traverse new delightful lands — Spot Prayāga smoke and hear clashing waters — See split wood and reach sage ground at dusk — Bow with Sītā and declare root-fruit vow — Bharadvāja offers cow arghya and welcome — Rāma shuns crowded Prayāga haunted by gazers — Bharadvāja points to Chitrakūṭa ten krōśa off ape-bear hill — Promises peaks bring welfare where sages won heaven — Hosts guests with tales and speeds them to Chitrakūṭa
