 | | Janaka Maharaja was known as a Yogi, King of Mithalapuri and Seetha's Father. | | | Then Janaka Maharaj said, "So it is with me. I do all the administratative work for the kingdom and am involved in samsara but my thought is always with the Divine." | | | Babaji concluded from this story that we can meditate at home, do our normal routine work and we don't have to go to the jungle or the cave to do meditation. |

| | Hence, whenever Rama's daring, dashing, swashbuckling is to be pictured, he will be indicated as 'Dasharatha's son...' That is the reason why the angst of envoys is said in this verse as 'vanished' just by a glimpse of that godly personality, which hitherto haunted them as to how to countenance such a powerful personality. | | | The ministers along with all of the great sages said in consonance, "Most Welcome..." and then that highly pleased king Dasharatha said to the ministers, "we travel tomorrow..." | | | On going to the palace those envoys are given an audience with the consent of Dasharatha, and when they are conducted into the palace-chambers they have seen the elderly king Dasharatha gleaming like a god. |
