Having given instructions to Rama regarding the anointing ceremony (abhiṣecana) scheduled for the next day, the king, summoning the priest Vasiṣṭha, spoke this.

2.
"O ascetic (tapodhana), go, and today make Kakutstha, along with his wife, undertake a vow of fasting (upavāsa) for the attainment of prosperity, fame, and kingdom."

And he, the eminent among those who know the Vedas, the venerable Vasiṣṭha, having said "So be it" to the king, himself went to Rama's abode.
स रामभवनं प्राप्य पाण्डुराभ्रघनप्रभम् ।

The best of sages, having reached Rāma's palace, which shone like a mass of white clouds, entered its three courtyards by chariot.
तमागतमृषिं रामस्त्वरन्निव ससंभ्रमः ।
मानयिष्यन् स मानार्हं निश्चक्राम निवेशनात् ॥५॥

5.
Rāma, as if hurrying and with great excitement, desiring to honor that revered sage who had arrived, went forth from his dwelling.
अभ्येत्य त्वरमाणश्च रथाभ्याशं मनीषिणः ।
ततो ऽवतारयामास परिगृह्य रथात् स्वयम् ॥६॥

tataḥ svayam parigṛhya rathāt avatārayāmāsa
tataḥ svayam parigṛhya rathāt avatārayāmāsa
6.
Approaching and hurrying to the vicinity of the wise sage's chariot, Rāma himself, taking hold of him, then made him alight from the chariot.
स चैनं प्रश्रितं दृष्ट्वा संभाष्याभिप्रसाद्य च ।
प्रियार्हं हर्षयन् राममित्युवाच पुरोहितः ॥७॥

7.
The priest (Viśvāmitra), seeing him (Rāma) humble and submissive, conversing with him and pleasing him, and making Rāma, who was worthy of affection, joyful, spoke thus.
प्रसन्नस्ते पिता राम यौवराज्यमवाप्स्यसि ।
उपवासं भवानद्य करोतु सह सीतया ॥८॥
उपवासं भवानद्य करोतु सह सीतया ॥८॥
8. prasannaste pitā rāma yauvarājyamavāpsyasi ,

8.
rāma te pitā prasannaḥ tvam yauvarājyam
avāpsyasi bhavān adya sītayā saha upavāsam karotu
avāpsyasi bhavān adya sītayā saha upavāsam karotu
8.
Your father, Rama, is pleased with you; you will attain the position of crown prince. You, sir, should observe a fast today along with Sītā.
प्रातस्त्वामभिषेक्ता हि यौवराज्ये नराधिपः ।
पिता दशरथः प्रीत्या ययातिं नहुषो यथा ॥९॥
पिता दशरथः प्रीत्या ययातिं नहुषो यथा ॥९॥
9. prātastvāmabhiṣektā hi yauvarājye narādhipaḥ ,

pitā daśarathaḥ prītyā yayātiṃ nahuṣo yathā.

9.

tvām yauvarājye abhiṣektā yathā nahuṣaḥ yayātim
tvām yauvarājye abhiṣektā yathā nahuṣaḥ yayātim
9.
Indeed, in the morning, King Daśaratha, your father, will anoint you as crown prince with affection, just as Nahuṣa did for Yayāti.
इत्युक्त्वा स तदा राममुपवासं यतव्रतम् ।
मन्त्रवत् कारयामास वैदेह्या सहितं मुनिः ॥१०॥
मन्त्रवत् कारयामास वैदेह्या सहितं मुनिः ॥१०॥
10. ityuktvā sa tadā rāmamupavāsaṃ yatavratam ,

mantravat kārayāmāsa vaidehyā sahitaṃ muniḥ.
10.

10.
iti uktvā tadā saḥ muniḥ mantravat vaidehyā
sahitam yatavratam rāmam upavāsam kārayāmāsa
sahitam yatavratam rāmam upavāsam kārayāmāsa
10.
Having said this, the sage then, with sacred recitations, made Rama - who was firm in his vow - observe a fast along with Vaidehī (Sītā).
ततो यथावद् रामेण स राज्ञो गुरुरर्चितः ।
अभ्यनुज्ञाप्य काकुत्स्थं ययौ रामनिवेशनात् ॥११॥
अभ्यनुज्ञाप्य काकुत्स्थं ययौ रामनिवेशनात् ॥११॥
11. tato yathāvad rāmeṇa sa rājño gururarcitaḥ ,
abhyanujñāpya kākutsthaṃ yayau rāmaniveśanāt.
abhyanujñāpya kākutsthaṃ yayau rāmaniveśanāt.
11.
tataḥ yathāvat rāmeṇa saḥ rājñaḥ guruḥ arcitaḥ
abhyanujñāpya kākutstham yayau rāmaniveśanāt
abhyanujñāpya kākutstham yayau rāmaniveśanāt
11.
tataḥ yathāvat rāmeṇa arcitaḥ saḥ rājñaḥ guruḥ
kākutstham abhyanujñāpya rāmaniveśanāt yayau
kākutstham abhyanujñāpya rāmaniveśanāt yayau
11.
Then, having been duly honored by Rama, that royal preceptor (guru) took leave of Kakutstha (Rama) and departed from Rama's abode.
सुहृद्भिस्तत्र रामो ऽपि ताननुज्ञाप्य सर्वशः ।
सभाजितो विवेशाथ ताननुज्ञाप्य सर्वशः ॥१२॥
सभाजितो विवेशाथ ताननुज्ञाप्य सर्वशः ॥१२॥
12. suhṛdbhistatra rāmo'pi tānanujñāpya sarvaśaḥ ,
sabhājito viveśātha tānanujñāpya sarvaśaḥ.
sabhājito viveśātha tānanujñāpya sarvaśaḥ.
12.
suhṛdbhiḥ tatra rāmaḥ api tān anujñāpya sarvaśaḥ
sabhājitaḥ viveśa atha tān anujñāpya sarvaśaḥ
sabhājitaḥ viveśa atha tān anujñāpya sarvaśaḥ
12.
tatra rāmaḥ api suhṛdbhiḥ tān sarvaśaḥ anujñāpya
sabhājitaḥ atha tān sarvaśaḥ anujñāpya viveśa
sabhājitaḥ atha tān sarvaśaḥ anujñāpya viveśa
12.
There, Rāma, also accompanied by his friends, having bid farewell to all of them completely, was honored, and then he entered, again bidding farewell to all of them.
हृष्टनारी नरयुतं रामवेश्म तदा बभौ ।
यथा मत्तद्विजगणं प्रफुल्लनलिनं सरः ॥१३॥
यथा मत्तद्विजगणं प्रफुल्लनलिनं सरः ॥१३॥
13. hṛṣṭanārī narayutaṃ rāmaveśma tadā babhau ,
yathā mattadvijagaṇaṃ praphullanalinaṃ saraḥ.
yathā mattadvijagaṇaṃ praphullanalinaṃ saraḥ.
13.

tadā hṛṣṭanārīnarayutam rāmavēśma babhau
yathā mattadvijagaṇam praphullanalinam saraḥ
yathā mattadvijagaṇam praphullanalinam saraḥ
13.
At that time, Rāma's dwelling, filled with joyful women and men, shone brightly, just like a lotus pond with a flock of exuberant birds and blossoming lotuses.
स राजभवनप्रख्यात्तस्माद् रामनिवेशनात् ।
निर्गत्य ददृशे मार्गं वसिष्ठो जनसंवृतम् ॥१४॥
निर्गत्य ददृशे मार्गं वसिष्ठो जनसंवृतम् ॥१४॥
14. sa rājabhavanaprakhyāttasmād rāmaniveśanāt ,

nirgatya dadṛśe mārgaṃ vasiṣṭho janasaṃvṛtam.
14.

nirgatya dadṛśe mārgam vasiṣṭhaḥ janasaṃvṛtam
14.
saḥ vasiṣṭhaḥ rājabhavanaprakhyāt tasmāt
rāmaniveśanāt nirgatya janasaṃvṛtam mārgam dadṛśe
rāmaniveśanāt nirgatya janasaṃvṛtam mārgam dadṛśe
14.
Then Vasiṣṭha, coming out from that dwelling of Rāma, which resembled a royal palace, saw a road crowded with people.
वृन्दवृन्दैरयोध्यायां राजमार्गाः समन्ततः ।
बभूवुरभिसंबाधाः कुतूहलजनैर्वृताः ॥१५॥
बभूवुरभिसंबाधाः कुतूहलजनैर्वृताः ॥१५॥

15.

kutūhalajanaiḥ vṛtāḥ abhisambādhāḥ babhūvuḥ
kutūhalajanaiḥ vṛtāḥ abhisambādhāḥ babhūvuḥ
15.
In Ayodhyā, the royal roads everywhere were completely obstructed by throngs and throngs of people filled with curiosity.
जनवृन्दोर्मिसंघर्षहर्षस्वनवतस्तदा ।
बभूव राजमार्गस्य सागरस्येव निस्वनः ॥१६॥
बभूव राजमार्गस्य सागरस्येव निस्वनः ॥१६॥

jana-vṛnda-urmi-saṃgharṣa-harṣa-svanavataḥ sāgarasya iva babhūva
16.
At that time, the main highway echoed with a roar, similar to that of an ocean, due to the joyful clamor of the clashing waves of human crowds.
सिक्तसंमृष्टरथ्या हि तदहर्वनमालिनी ।
आसीदयोध्या नगरी समुच्छ्रितगृहध्वजा ॥१७॥

17.
Indeed, on that day, Ayodhya city appeared with its streets sprinkled and thoroughly cleaned, adorned with garlands of leaves and flowers, and with banners hoisted high on its houses.
तदा ह्ययोध्या निलयः सस्त्रीबालाबलो जनः ।

18.
Indeed, at that time, all the people residing in Ayodhya - including women, children, and the elderly - eagerly awaited Rama's consecration, just as one awaits the rising of the sun.
प्रजालंकारभूतं च जनस्यानन्दवर्धनम् ।
उत्सुको ऽभूज्जनो द्रष्टुं तमयोध्या महोत्सवम् ॥१९॥
उत्सुको ऽभूज्जनो द्रष्टुं तमयोध्या महोत्सवम् ॥१९॥
19. prajālaṃkārabhūtaṃ ca janasyānandavardhanam ,

prajā-alaṅkāra-bhūtam ca janasya-ānanda-vardhanam
prajā-alaṅkāra-bhūtam ca janasya-ānanda-vardhanam
19.
And the populace became eager to witness that grand festival (mahotsava) of Ayodhya, which served as an adornment for the people and greatly increased their delight.
एवं तं जनसंबाधं राजमार्गं पुरोहितः ।
व्यूहन्निव जनौघं तं शनै राज कुलं ययौ ॥२०॥

tam janaugham vyūhan iva śanaiḥ rājakulam yayau
20.
Thus, the royal priest, as if pushing aside that multitude of people, slowly went towards the royal palace along that royal highway crowded with people.
सिताभ्रशिखरप्रख्यं प्रासदमधिरुह्य सः ।
समियाय नरेन्द्रेण शक्रेणेव बृहस्पतिः ॥२१॥

21.
Having ascended the palace, which resembled the peak of a white cloud, he met the king, just as Brihaspati meets Indra.
तमागतमभिप्रेक्ष्य हित्वा राजासनं नृपः ।
पप्रच्छ स च तस्मै तत् कृतमित्यभ्यवेदयत् ॥२२॥

papraccha ca saḥ tat kṛtam iti tasmai abhyavedayat
papraccha ca saḥ tat kṛtam iti tasmai abhyavedayat
22.
Having perceived his arrival, and leaving the royal throne, the king asked. And he (the priest) reported to him that it was done.
गुरुणा त्वभ्यनुज्ञातो मनुजौघं विसृज्य तम् ।
विवेशान्तःपुरं राजा सिंहो गिरिगुहामिव ॥२३॥

visṛjya siṃhaḥ giriguhām iva antaḥpuram viveśa
23.
But the king, having been dismissed by his teacher (guru), and having sent away that multitude of people, entered the inner palace, just as a lion enters a mountain cave.
तदग्र्यवेषप्रमदाजनाकुलं महेन्द्रवेश्मप्रतिमं निवेशनम् ।

24.
The king, illuminating it beautifully, entered that dwelling which was filled with women in splendid attire and resembled the palace of Mahendra (Indra), just as the moon enters the sky filled with a multitude of stars.
