Summary
Having finished his business at the tavern, Pradyut’s next stop is the nearest well. Wells boast a more reputable clientele than do taverns, but this also makes a spy’s job more difficult. Sober people are not as easy to manipulate. Not that this would make any difference to Pradyut, who prides himself on his diligence and efficiency. His employer has given him a job, and he will comply -- not just for the money, but for the sake of honor itself.

Summary
Sita kneels on the riverbank and drapes her hair over one shoulder, her saffron pallu discarded nearby. Rama cannot help but admire the sinuous curve of her back as she bends forward, the shimmering curtain of her hair as she dips it into the water.

Summary
Bharata was never the center of attention, never the best-adored. Rama was the sun around which all others orbited. Still, Bharata was a prince, and he never thought scandal could touch him. But as he rides into the streets of Ayodhya where he had walked among the praja to dispense charity, and dismounts in the courtyards where he had learned to shoot a bow, as he strides through the hallways where he had scampered and dodged Manthara’s attempts to discipline him, all eyes gaze upon him with suspicion and resentment, and he thinks he has never been so universally hated.
Kaushalya Ma’s weary sorrow wrenches Bharata’s heart like nothing else.
azvasana (Sanskrit): consoling, reviving

Summary
Chitrakoot is equal parts gloom and joy, in the wake of King Dasharatha’s funeral and the reunion of the rest of Kosala’s royal family. Upon nightfall, camp was set up, and discussions are to be held on the morrow.
Bharata and Lakshmana sit side by side in the flickering light of a fire. Discomfort leaves them silent and awkward.
shadyantra (Hindi): conspiracy, machination
