Week 4 Reading Diary B: Ayodhya Throne

p. 60-62
Dasaratha wants to see his son, Rama, become king. He assembles the Kosala Council and tells them that he is very old and wishes to see Rama become king. They cheer is agreement. Dasaratha becomes upset by this, believing that they think of his as a lesser king and they do not like him. Sumantra, the charioteer, tells the king that they love him but Rama was born to be king and he is amazingly great. The king then goes back to his original thoughts of being old and wanting to retire and rest and see his son become a great king.
