Travelling, Bharata reached the land of Guhaka. Guhaka recognized this as the army of Ayodhya. He asked his army to be prepared. He said he thought Bharata was coming to fight Rama and take full control of Ayodhya.
When Guhaka saw Bharata, he asked his troupe to stop. It did not seem that Bharata had come with any negative intentions. He asked his people to fetch milk, butter, yogurt and coconut such that he could welcome Bharata.
If Bharata wanted Rama to be the king of Ayodhya, Bharata would be welcomed heartily, else he would be killed and his body would float in the river close by.
While Guhaka was wondering what to do, Sumantra came there. He asked Guhaka to point to the direction that Rama was travelling in. Bharata had come to take Rama back.
Hearing this, Guahaka bowed down at Bharata's feet and said Rama, Lakshmana and Sita were far from there. He asked Bharata to rest for sometime.
Bharata said he was restless and would have no rest till he saw Rama. Guahaka said he did not know what was the path that Rama had taken, but one of his messengers would be able to help.
Fetching the messenger, Guhaka said he would also join Bharata is search of Rama. He said he was not sure of Bharata's intention. If Bharata had come to fetch Rama, why had he come with army and why he dressed in royal robes?
Bharata said Looking try to understand my mental condition. For me, Rama's feet are what I desire. I have come in royal robes to give it over to Rama, and hand over the army to him.
Guhaka was impressed and all should have a brother like you.
Bharata said because of his mother, he was being blamed. He wanted to know Rama would be found.
Guhaka said Rama had stayed in his land for two days and then had gone somewhere, where he could be away Ayodhya. They had crossed the river Ganga and had gone to the other side.
