“You are the symbols of the Ikshvaku family. May you be always victorious ! May your path be free from all impediments! Proceed. Bhagwan Rishabhdev will always be with you".
Ram and Lakshman saluted all and went out of the palace. The war cries of the armies reverberated in the horizons. The commanders heartily complemented Ram and Lakshman. Wardrums were beaten. Bugles were blown. The two brothers sat in their chariots and the chariots at once began speeding through the roads of Ayodhya. The people of the city overwhelmed with joy issued cries of victory. Women scattered flowers on their way and bestowed upon them their heartiest wishes for their victory.
Taking fifty thousand soldiers with them, Ram and Laksh. man set off towards Mithila.
