Bharatha and Nishadharaja Guha experienced various auspicious omens on their way, Guha pacified Bharatha in a sweet accent “Oh! Prabho, the anxiousness will go away and bring delight into your heart, even though the end result may not be favorable to you.” Bharatha understood each and every single word uttered by Guha won’t go untrue, finally, they have approached the hermitage of Rama located in a lush green land loaded with auspicious trees, creepers, shrubs, etc. surrounded by forest and mountain range, the mere sight of the beauty of nature uplifted his spirits as if the hungry man attained a grand meal after several days. Bharatha experienced the sudden rush of excitement all through his limbs, like the Jeeva afflicted with the Thapathrya/Adhidheivika, Adhibhauthhika and Adhyathmika, worn out of extreme grief and fear of worldly existence, exhausted by the evil influence caused by the changes in the planetary positions were ultimately migrated to a peaceful and prosperous land. The presence of Rama in the Chitrakoot brought an abundance or richness of mineral and natural wealth, prosperity to the land, and serenity to the people /hermits lived in this place as if the land has achieved a wise ruler. The Niyama and Yama/austerities and penances, represents the realm, Mount Chitrakoot as capital, the serenity and peace prevailed represent the virtuous and lovely queens, the prosperity and welfare of the Kingdom lies at the lotus feet of virtuous King Lord Rama who is the wise ruler, in this way, Bharatha’s heart overflown with the compassion, devotion, and pure love at the lotus feet of Lord Rama.
