Sage Vasistha,Bharat's Guru
At this end, Bharat joyously returned to the city of Ayodhyå and narrated the entire episode to his spiritual preceptor (sage Vasistha).Thereafter he made it known inside the royal palace that Lord Raghunath was safe and approaching Ayodhya. On hearing the news, all the mothers upped and ran. Bharat pacified everyone by telling them of the Lord's well-being. When this information reached the denizens, all the men and women ran in joy. Ladies with the gait of a majestic she elephant, carrying gold platters loaded with curd, durva grass, gorocana, fruits, flowers, auspicious roots and tender leaves of the sacred Tulsi, set out, singing as they walked. Everyone stood up and ran in whatever state they were. Fearing that they might be late, they did not take the children and elders along. They asked one another-Brother! Have you seen the compassionate Lord Raghunath, by any chance? On knowing that the Lord was coming, the entire city of Ayodhya became a trove of splendid beauty. The three-fold beautiful breeze began to blow. The waters of the Sarayu River became crystal clear and pure.

Shri Shatrughan, the Son of Sumitra
Accompanied by his guru Vasisht, kinsmen, younger brother Shatrughan, and a cluster of Bråhmins, a delighted Bharat with a heart full of affection, set out to receive Lord Ram, the repository of mercy. Many women had climbed up to their attics and were looking at the Pushpak Viman in the sky. Sighting it, they melodiously began to sing festive songs in joyous abandon.
The Ocean & Full Moon
Lord Raghunath is likened to the moon of poornima and the city of Ayodhya to the ocean, which is delighted to behold the full moon and noisily gushes forth to meet the Lord. The women (flitting here and there)seem likes the ocean's surging waves.

Lord Ram Shows Ayodhya to Sugriv, Angad & Vibhishan
At this end Lord Råm, who delights the solar race just as the sun brings joy to a lotus, is eagerly showing the enchanting city to the monkeys. (He says)O Sugriv! Angad and Vibhishan! (ruler of Lanka) Listen! This city is pure and the region is beautiful. Although everyone has sung the glories of Vaikunth(where Vishnu forever dwells), it is famed in the Vedas-Puranas and reputed throughout the world that it is not as dear to me as the city of Ayodhya. This truth is known to some rare people and the captivating city is my birthplace.The Sarayu River which purifies living beings flows to its north, by bathing in its waters men dwell near Me without any difficulty (attain salvation by coming close to me). The dwellers of this place are very dear to Me.This city is a treasury of bliss and grants the supreme abode of Mine. The monkeys were thrilled to hear the Lord's words and said that Ayodhya which has been praised by Lord Ram Himself, is blessed (for certain.)

Kubera, the god of Wealth
When the all-merciful Lord Ramchandra saw the people coming to Him, he urged the Pushpak Viman. And that is when it descended to the ground. On getting down from the aerial car, He told the Pushpa Viman,'You return to *Kuber (the god of wealth), as of now.' Thus persuaded by Lord Ram, the vimana left, delighted (to go back to its master) and anguished on parting from Lord Ramchandra.
gorocana: yellow pigment vomited by a cow and used in medicine
Kubera: Brahma conferred the Pushpaka Vimana or flying chariot on Kubera, the god of wealth.
