Ayodhyākānda - Canto 98

Telling off Guha and Śatrughna with their followers to find out the hermitage of Śrī Rāma, Bharata himself, who was keen to see Śrī Rāma, goes out in search of his hermitage with the ministers, walking all the way and envying the good fortune of Sītā and Laksmana, who were living with Śrī Rāma; and reaching the foot of a sāla tree and concluding the place from the presence of smoke nearby to be a human habitation and ruling out the possibility of any other human being living in that lonely forest, he eagerly hastens forward in the hope of meeting Śrī Rāma.
