17. Then, having circled that venerable great sage (mahāmuni) in a clockwise direction (pradakṣiṇa), she stood with a dejected mind not far from Bharata himself.

21. Kausalya gave birth to Rama, that best among men (puruṣavyāghram) who moves with the powerful stride of a lion, just as Aditi gave birth to Dhata.
