Rama dismisses his allies to their homes -- King Janaka returns to Mithila escorted by Bharata, his uncle Yudhajit to Kekaya with Lakshmana, Pratardana of Kashi to Varanasi, and the three hundred other kings to their lands -- thanking them and crediting their valour for Ravana's fall, he sends them off amid mutual affection.
