Expressing his readiness to guard the Crown Prince and his consort, keeping awake the whole night, Guha importunes Lakshmana to repose. Reminding Guha of Sri Rama's greatness, Lakshmana, however, tells him that even though the duty of guarding his princely brother and his consort could as well be entrusted to Guha, he felt that he did not deserve to lie down in the presence of his elder brother and sister-in-law and preferred to remain awake. Expressing grief for his royal father and loving mothers he therefore spends the night talking with Guha.

Alighting from the chariot under an Ingudi tree standing on the bank, he goes forward to meet Guha, the chief of the Nishadas, who had come to meet him. Nay, worshipping the evening twilight and taking water only (for food and drink), the prince lies down on the ground to repose for the night; while Sumantra, Guha and Lakshmana spend the night talking together.

Having reached the bank of the Tamasa and thinking of the plight of the people of Ayodhya, Sri Rama lays himself down on a bed of leaves bewailing the lot of his parents and feeling reassured by the thought of Bharata's noble qualities; while Lakshmana opens his dialogue with Sumantra on the divine excellences of Sri Rama. Waking up in the meantime, Sri Rama urges the charioteer-minister to drive the chariot in such a way as to put the citizens, that had accompanied them, off the scent and lead them to think that the chariot had turned back towards Ayodhya instead of proceeding towards the forest. He then mounts the chariot along with Sita and Lakshmana and presses on to the forest.

Sri Rama having departed for the forest in an exceptionally swift-going chariot, Dasharatha vainly seeks to cover the intervening distance on foot.
