One day, Devi Kausalya bathed her child, adorned him in beautiful attire and ornaments, and put him sleep on the cradle, further she moved to conduct the worship of her beloved deity of the clan, she performed ablutions to the deities, and carried out daily rites, and kept the offerings before the deity.
