At dawn Rama admits with honour the ascetics of the Yamuna bank, led by Chyavana, who bring offerings

Full sarga summary

At dawn Rama admits with honour the ascetics of the Yamuna bank, led by Chyavana, who bring offerings -- pledging his kingdom and his very life for the brahmins' sake, he asks their purpose -- the sages applaud a vow that earlier kings had shunned and beg his protection from a great fear that oppresses them.
