Ayodhyākānda - Canto 87

Overwhelmed with grief to hear from the mouth of Guha how his two brothers got their hair entangled into a mass, Bharata falls unconscious on the ground. On regaining consciousness, he despatches Guha to reassure mother Kausalyā, who is filled with apprehension about the safety of Śrī Rāma and his party on hearing of Bharata’s swoon, and apprise her of its real cause and also of Śrī Rāma’s welfare. While doing so Guha also tells her how Śrī Rāma and Laksmana Sītā lay down on a bed of Kuśa grass prepared by Laksmaƒa with his own hands when the party broke journey at Śrngaverapura and how Guha with Laksmasa kept watch the whole night for the protection of Śrī Rāma and Sītā.
