सर्गः १०४
In which hidden seers bless the brothers, Bharata pleads for Rāma to take the kingdom, and Rāma gives his sandals and sends all home
Hidden seers praise meeting and envy dialogue — Seers seeking Rāvaṇa death bid Bharata free father through Rāma — Gandharvas and royal seers depart to own abodes — Bharata pleads he cannot guard kingdom or win people — Bharata falls at feet as kin yearn like farmers for rain — Rāma calls Bharata capable, bids counsel ministers, vows keeping promise — Rāma bids Bharata honour mother without resentment — Rāma wears gold sandals and gives them to Bharata — Bharata circles Rāma and sets sandals on elephant head — Rāma dismisses all, greets mothers, enters hut weeping
