By the force of destiny, while wandering in the forest for the hunt, King Dasharatha was cursed by a blind sage This refers to the sage Shravan Kumar's father, who cursed the King to die of grief for his sons after Dasharatha accidentally killed Shravan.. Upon hearing of this, the subjects felt a great sense of impending calamity; there was immense sorrow, grief, and burning anguish. || 3 || (The result of the inquiry indicates an unfavorable outcome.)

The King made a plea for the sake of a son; the family preceptor spoke of a remedy.
Hearing that noble offspring would be born, the King of Kosala was overjoyed. || 4 ||

King Dasharatha prayed for the attainment of a son, and the family preceptor Vashistha explained the means [and said—] "Excellent offspring will be born." Hearing this, King Dasharatha became extremely happy. || 4 || (If the inquiry is regarding the attainment of children, there will be success.)

Having performed the sacrifice for a son, the Sage gave the consecrated offering to the King.
The blessing of the Brahmins The priestly class is the root of all great auspiciousness in the world. || 5 ||

The great sage Vashistha performed the Putreshti-Yajna A specific Vedic fire sacrifice performed to obtain children and gave the consecrated food to the King. The blessing of the Brahmins is the source of all the finest blessings in the world. || 5 || (The result of the inquiry is excellent.)

At Rama's birth, songs of joy and drums resounded in every house in Avadh.
