handful of water and sesame seeds to the departed soul

Jai sri Ram
Hearing Kaushalya's words, Bharata and the whole gynaeceum wailed in distress,

Much agitated two brothers loudly lamented and kaushalya clasped them to her bosom,

Bharata said-mother if, all this has my approval, let me share the terrible fate of those who sell the Vedas, exploit their piety, expose other's sin, deceitful. wicked, quarrelsome and irascible that hostile to the world,

Hearing such words Kaushalya said you are my dear child, have always loved Rama in thought, words and deeds, Rama is dearer to you than your own life, moon may defuse poison, snow may omit fire, spiritual enlightenment may fail to eradicate errors, in no case you will you turn hostile to Rama,

The sages and Vashistha then came and summoned all ministers, Vashistha admonished Bharata in many ways, have courage in heart and do what the occasion demands today, He washed king's body and caused a most splendid funeral bier, oblations made all that at the bank of Sarayu, rites of cremations were gone through and funeral party bathed with due ceremony and offered a handful of water and sesame seeds to the departed soul, whatever order the great sage Vashistha gave on a particular point Bharata carried out all of them in a thousand of ways,

May lord bless all,

Thanks Please
