While recreating himself in the company of Sita on the lovely hills of Chitrakuta, Sri Rama beholds all of a sudden a large cloud of dust screening the sun anad hears a loud noise and despatches Lakshmana to ascertain the cause. Lakshmana thereupon climbs up the top of a lofty tree and catching sight of an army with the chariot of its leader distinguished by an ensign bearing the device of a Kovidara tree, hastily concludes that Bharata has come all the way to dispose of Sri Rama and thereby to make himself secure on the throne of Ayodhya. Returning apace to the presence of Sri Rama he disburdens himself of his suspicions and speaks angrily about Bharata, swearing that he will kill the intruder.
