[4] Then once, waking up earlier than usual before his own morning activities, there arose in Śrī Rāma's brother, the protector of the universe, this spontaneous desire: "Today, even the morning meal should be taken in the lonely forest." Then, having performed his morning duties, having pleased his mother to ask her consent, and departing with her permission, he awakened the host of friends along with his elder brother by the signal of blowing his horn. Quickly walking along, he reached the crossroads and spent a few moments eagerly awaiting their arrival.
