Vasiṣṭha, the foremost among eloquent sages and the best of speakers, addressed Bharata, the son of Kaikeyī, who was thus consumed by sorrow.
अलं शोकेन भद्रं ते राजपुत्र महायशः ।
प्राप्तकालं नरपतेः कुरु संयानमुत्तरम् ॥२॥

Enough of this sorrow! May all be well with you, O greatly renowned prince. Now, perform the appropriate final rites for the king.

Having heard Vasiṣṭha's words, the one knowledgeable in the intrinsic nature (dharma) of things, Bharata, regained his composure. He then had all the funeral rites performed.
उद्धृतं तैलसंक्लेदात् स तु भूमौ निवेशितम् ।

He (the king's body) was lifted from the oil-soaked state and placed on the ground. The king, with a pale face, appeared as if deeply asleep.
निवेश्य शयने चाग्र्ये नानारत्नपरिष्कृते ।

Having placed (the body) on the excellent couch, adorned with various gems, then the son, deeply sorrowful, lamented Dasharatha.
किं ते व्यवसितं राजन्प्रोषिते मय्यनागते ।

6.
O King, what was your decision (vyavasita) while I was away and had not yet returned, having exiled Rama, who understands (dharma), and Lakshmana, the immensely strong?
क्व यास्यसि महाराज हित्वेमं दुःखितं जनम् ।

7.
Where will you go, O great king, having abandoned these distressed people, who are bereft of Rama, the lion among men, whose actions (karma) are effortless?
योगक्षेमं तु ते राजन् को ऽस्मिन् कल्पयिता पुरे ।
त्वयि प्रयाते स्वस्तात रामे च वनमाश्रिते ॥८॥
त्वयि प्रयाते स्वस्तात रामे च वनमाश्रिते ॥८॥

kaḥ asmin pure te yoga-kṣemam kalpayitā?
kaḥ asmin pure te yoga-kṣemam kalpayitā?
8.
O King, who in this city will look after the welfare (yoga-kṣema) now that you, my father, have departed, and Rama has gone to the forest?
विधवा पृथिवी राजंस्त्वया हीना न राजते ।

nagarī mām hīna-candrā rajanī iva pratibhāti.
9.
O King, the earth (pṛthivī), widowed and bereft of you, does not shine. The city appears to me like a moonless night.
एवं विलपमानं तं भरतं दीनमानसं ।
अब्रवीद्वचनं भूयो वसिष्ठस्तु महानृषिः ॥१०॥
अब्रवीद्वचनं भूयो वसिष्ठस्तु महानृषिः ॥१०॥

10.
evam vilapamānam dīna-mānasam tam bharatam tu mahān ṛṣiḥ vasiṣṭhaḥ bhūyaḥ vacanam abravīt.
10.
Thus, the great sage (ṛṣi) Vasishtha spoke again to that Bharata, who was lamenting with a sorrowful heart.
प्रेतकार्याणि यान्यस्य कर्तव्यानि विशाम्पतेः ।
तान्यव्यग्रं महाबाहो क्रियतामविचारितम् ॥११॥
तान्यव्यग्रं महाबाहो क्रियतामविचारितम् ॥११॥

tāni avyagram avicāritam kriyatām.
yāni asya viśām-pateḥ preta-kāryāṇi kartavyāni,
tāni avyagram avicāritam kriyatām.
11.
O mighty-armed one, let those funeral rites (preta-kāryāṇi) which are to be performed for this lord of the people (viśāmpati) be carried out without distraction and without hesitation.
तथेति भरतो वाक्यं वसिष्ठस्याभिपूज्य तत् ।
ऋत्विक्पुरोहिताचार्यांस्त्वरयामास सर्वशः ॥१२॥
ऋत्विक्पुरोहिताचार्यांस्त्वरयामास सर्वशः ॥१२॥
12. tatheti bharato vākyaṃ vasiṣṭhasyābhipūjya tat ,

ṛtvikpurohitācāryāṃstvarayāmāsa sarvaśaḥ.
12.

abhipūjya ṛtvikpurohitācāryān sarvaśaḥ tvarayām āsa
12.
Bharata, revering Vasiṣṭha's words and agreeing, "So be it," then hastened all the officiating priests (ṛtvik), household priests (purohita), and spiritual teachers (ācārya) in every way.
ये त्वग्रतो नरेन्द्रस्य अग्न्यगाराद्बहिष्कृताः ।
ऋत्विग्भिर्याजकैश्चैव ते ह्रियन्ते यथाविधि ॥१३॥
ऋत्विग्भिर्याजकैश्चैव ते ह्रियन्ते यथाविधि ॥१३॥
13. ye tvagrato narendrasya agnyagārādbahiṣkṛtāḥ ,

ṛtvigbhiryājakaiścaiva te hriyante yathāvidhi.
13.
ye tu agrataḥ narendrasya agnyagārāt bahiṣkṛtāḥ

ṛtvigbhiḥ yājakaiḥ ca eva te hriyante yathāvidhi
13.
agrataḥ narendrasya agnyagārāt bahiṣkṛtāḥ ye tu
ṛtvigbhiḥ yājakaiḥ ca eva te yathāvidhi hriyante
ṛtvigbhiḥ yājakaiḥ ca eva te yathāvidhi hriyante
13.
And those (sacred fires, implied) which had been brought out from the fire-house and placed before the king, they are now being carried by the officiating priests (ṛtvik) and other sacrificers (yājaka) in accordance with the prescribed rites.
शिबिलायामथारोप्य राजानं गतचेतनम् ।
बाष्पकण्ठा विमनसस्तमूहुः परिचारकाः ॥१४॥
बाष्पकण्ठा विमनसस्तमूहुः परिचारकाः ॥१४॥

gatacetanam rājānam śibikāyām āropya tam ūhuḥ
gatacetanam rājānam śibikāyām āropya tam ūhuḥ
14.
Then, having placed the unconscious king (gatacetana) in a palanquin (śibikā), the attendants (paricāraka), with throats choked by tears and their minds distressed, carried him.
हिरण्यं च सुवर्णं च वासांसि विविधानि च ।
प्रकिरन्तो जना मार्गं नृपतेरग्रतो ययुः ॥१५॥
प्रकिरन्तो जना मार्गं नृपतेरग्रतो ययुः ॥१५॥

ca prakirantaḥ nṛpateḥ agrataḥ mārgam yayuḥ
15.
And scattering gold (hiraṇya), coins (suvarṇa), and various garments, the people proceeded along the path, going ahead of the king.
चन्दनागुरुनिर्यासान् सरलं पद्मकं तथा ।
देवदारूणि चाहृत्य चितां चक्रुस्तथापरे ॥१६॥

16.
Others then, having gathered resins of sandalwood and agarwood, pine wood, padmaka wood, and deodar wood, constructed the funeral pyre.
गन्धानुच्चावचांश्चान्यांस्तत्र दत्त्वाथ भूमिपम् ।
ततः संवेशयामासुश्चितामध्ये तमृत्विजः ॥१७॥

17.
Then, having placed various other fragrances on it, the priests thereupon laid the king in the middle of that pyre.
तथा हुताशनं हुत्वा जेपुस्तस्य तदर्त्विजः ।
जगुश्च ते यथाशास्त्रं तत्र सामानि सामगाः ॥१८॥

18.
Then, having offered oblations into the sacred fire, those priests chanted for him. And there, the Sāman chanters (sāmagāḥ) sang the Sāman chants (sāman) according to the sacred texts.
शिबिकाभिश्च यानैश्च यथार्हं तस्य योषितः ।

19.
Then, his wives, accompanied by elders, departed from the city to that place (the pyre site) in palanquins and other conveyances, as was fitting for each.
प्रसव्यं चापि तं चक्रुरृत्विजो ऽग्निचितं नृपम् ।

20.
Then, the priests also circumambulated that king, for whom the sacred fires had been prepared, in a counter-clockwise direction (prasavya). And at that time, the grief-stricken women, led by Kausalya and others, were also present.
क्रौञ्चीनामिव नारीणां निनादस्तत्र शुश्रुवे ।

21.
There, a mournful cry of thousands of distressed women, wailing piteously like female curlews (krauñcī), was heard at that time.
ततो रुदन्त्यो विवशा विलप्य च पुनः पुनः ।
यानेभ्यः सरयूतीरमवतेरुर्वराङ्गनाः ॥२२॥

22.
Then, weeping and helpless, and repeatedly lamenting, the noble women descended from their conveyances to the bank of the Sarayu River.

23.
Having performed the water offering (udaka) with Bharata, those royal women, ministers, and priests, their eyes filled with tears, entered the city. For ten days, they observed their period of mourning and underwent their grief (duḥkha) while remaining on the ground.
