In this manner, having got all his sons married in a glorious way, the king (Dasrath) was able to spread his fame and glory far and wide in all the directions of the world. (All the great kings and princes of the time had assembled at Janakpur to try their hands at lifting and stringing the formidable bow to prove their strength and might, or to simply witness the event. It was in this gathering that Lord Ram had broken the bow very easily when all of the competitors had failed to as much as move the bow a fraction of an inch. This in itself was no mean achievement and was enough to establish the fame and glory of Ram throughout the world. It is natural that any father would feel extremely proud and honoured if his son achieves such a great feat, and so was the case with Dasrath.) Delighting the residents who lived along the way and spreading joy all around, the king finally returned back to his capital at Ayodhya.
