அப்போது உயர்ந்த மனப்பான்மையுடைய, மகிழ்ந்த முகத்துடன் இருந்த பரதன் ‘அப்படியே’ என்று ஒப்புதல் கூறினான். பின்னர் அரசகுமாரன் அந்த ஆசிரமத்திலேயே இரவு தங்கத் தீர்மானித்தான்॥
Vasistha and Bharata also enquired about his health and welfare of his sacred fires, his disciples, animals and birds and trees of the hermitage.
