They climbed on the boat. On one side was River Ganga and on the other side River Sarayu. The boat went fast, and Sage Vishwamitra along with Rama and Lakshmana travelled by this boat. They could hear a loud roaring noise, in the place where the waters of River Ganga and River Sarayu joined.
As Rama was a young child, he asked Vishwamitra, “O Maharishi! What is the cause of this tumultous noise?”
Sage Vishwamitra replied, “Surrounding Ayodhya, the holy river Sarayu flows. Do you know what that(river) is? On Mount Kailasa, Brahma by the power of his thought created a lake named Manasa Saras, a branch of this Manasa Saras is only this Sarayu river. As the river Sarayu joins river Ganga here, this loud sound is produced at the confluence.”
