Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] once Śiva accompanied by Satī and seated on His Bull wandered over the Earth, in one of his sportive activities. Wandering over the ocean-girt Earth He reached Daṇḍaka forest [...] There Śiva saw Rāma who was searching for Sitā [...] [Rāma] was a heroic king of the solar race, son of Daśaratha [viz., daśarathātmaja], elder brother of Bharata. He had become cheerless and devoid of lustre”.
