Full sarga summary

At dawn Kusha and Lava sing the Ramayana before the assembly; captivated, Rama gathers the learned and seats the boys among them, all marvelling how like Rama they are -- after twenty cantos he offers them gold, which they refuse as forest-dwellers, and learns the poem is Valmiki's, of twenty-four thousand verses and six books recounting Rama's own deeds, and that the sage is present.
