The family priest or spiritual master, Vasishtha, had Lord Ramacandra cleanly shaved, freeing Him from His matted locks of hair. Then, with the cooperation of the elderly members of the family, he performed the bathing ceremony [abhisheka] for Lord Ramacandra with the water of the four seas and with other substances, just as it was performed for King Indra.
