Ayodhyākānda - Canto 84

Scenting mischief in the mind of Bharata, who was taking a large army with him, Guha orders the ferrymen to guard the boats so as to prevent Bharata’s men from crossing the Gangā, and himself seeks the presence of Bharata in order to know his mind. Being satisfied about his good intention, he entertains Bharata and his men with fruits and roots etc., brought by him and, on his having taken rest awhile and overcome his fatigue, allows him to advance.
