The forest dwellers brought several wicker baskets full of succulent fruits, vegetables, and fiber roots in large quantities. The very presence of Lord Rama in the Chitrakoot provided all that required items to meet the appetite of the people gathered, which was enough to satisfy their appetite with the mere sight of it. The lakes, streams, watercourses were filled with nectar-like water, brimming with joy and love. The trees and creepers were loaded with fruits and flowers, which provided a beautiful shelter home for the various species of birds, and humming bees. The entire forest of Chitrakoot was overflowing with joy, love, the sounds of birds and animals living in complete harmony, the cool and fragrant breeze enhanced the delight of the people.
