Dasharatha gave in charity one of his daughters, by the name Santa, to his friend Romapada because Romapada was without issue. Romapada accepted Santa as his daughter, and the great sage Rishyasringa married her. When the demigods from the heavenly planets failed to shower rain, Rishyasringa was appointed the priest for performing a sacrifice, after being brought from the forest by the allurement of prostitutes, who danced, staged theatrical performances accompanied by music, and embraced and worshiped him. After Rishyasringa came, the rain fell. Thereafter, Rishyasringa performed a son-giving sacrifice on behalf of Dasharatha, who had no issue, and then Dasharatha had sons. <ref name=":1"> Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 9 chapter 23 ''[https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/9/23/7-10 The dynasties of sons of Yayati]'' </ref>

From Dasharatha's action, it is seen how one act of kindness reaps fruit, eventually. Dasharatha giving away his daughter to distressed Rompada was eventually the cause of Dashartha's joy.
