Vasiṣṭha said: Breezes of various kinds (i.e. of varying velocity) blew there. Surveying such an excellent hermitage endowed with the qualities mentioned above. Rāma, an humble disciplined soul, entered it like a meritorious person getting into the abode of Devas. After entering the penance-grove, O king, he saw his great-grand-father (i.e. Bhṛgu). He was surrounded by hundreds of sages who were his disciples. He was seated on a seat of Darbha in the centre of the dais intended for explanatory discourses. He appeared radiant with white moustaches, beard and matted hair as well as with his sacred thread.
