Ayodhyākānda - Canto 96

While recreating himself in the company of Sītā on the lovely hills of Citrakuta, Śrī Rāma beholds all of a sudden a large cloud of dust screening the sun and hears a loud noise and despatches Laksmana to ascertain the cause. Laksmana thereupon climbs up the top of a lofty tree and catching sight of an army with the chariot of its leader distinguished by an ensign bearing the device of a Kovidāra tree, hastily concludes that Bharata has come all the way to dispose of Śrī Rāma and thereby to make himself secure on the throne of Ayodhyā. Returning apace to the presence of Śrī Rāma he disburdens himself of his suspicions and speaks angrily about Bharata, swearing that he will kill the intruder.
