Daśaratha's vow
Finally, Dasaratha and seventy two of his great warrior friends received the vows of celibacy etc through Muni Sri Satyabhūti and were involved in the austere penance. Bharata was very much depressed, as he missed Rama badly, yet he received solace through the worship of Arihanta, the crown amongst the divine hierachy. He decided that he would look after the kingdom till Rama returned and then, he would hand over the crown to Rama and vow.
