Rama got Sumantra admitted and said to him, 'What is the purpose of your coming back so quickly ? Tell me whatever is there without holding back.' [2-4-6]
तमुवाच ततः सूतो राजा त्वां द्रष्टु मिच्छति | श्रुत्वा प्रमाणमत्र त्वं गमनायेतराय वा || २-४-७
Hearing those words, charioteer ( Sumantra ) said: 'King Dasharatha wants to see you. Decide yourself in this matter whether to proceed to your father or otherwise.' [2-4-7]
