Guests offer salutations and blessings before they depart. Songs rise in praise of the Lord's noble qualities and glorious deeds, carrying remembrance through the dispersing assembly.

Dasharatha returns toward the palace accompanied by Vasishtha and the Brahmins. Royal celebration moves beneath the guidance of sacred wisdom rather than leaving it at the outer gate.

The brief passage closes one circle of public welcome. Gifts have been received, songs sung, and citizens satisfied. Now the king goes inward with guru and scripture bearers beside him, bringing praise from the open streets into the family chambers where further rites await.

With guru and Brahmins beside him, Dasharatha carries the city's praise into the palace.
