Hearing the pleasing words of the sutas (who sing puranic stories), magadhas (who recount the genealogy of the royal family) and vandins (the panegyrists) Rama performed the morning sandhya-vandana, meditated on Gayatri with total concentration of mind. Clad in spotless silk, he offered worship to Visnu and listened to the svasti- punyaha-vachana. The auspicious chantings filled Ayodhya.
