English Commentary

Having observed the tenday mourning period, Bharata purified himself on the twelfth day and got the shraddha rites (obsequies) performed. On the thirteenth day Bharata drops down in agony while picking up the bones of his deceased father -- Bharata and Satrughna once again plunge in grief -- Vasistha and Sumanthra console them
