First night in the forest

Rama,Seetha and Lakshmana prayed river Ganges for their safe journey.Seetha takes oath that on their safe return after fourteen years she would do Pujas,donate cows to Brahmins and give wine and meat to the river.They reached southern end and they alighted the boat and started walking in to the forest. Rama told Lakshmana to be cautious and that all should move in unisionto ward off unwarranted incidents or dangers.They entered the country Vathsa.They lied down under atree and Rama was thinking of their parents in Ayodhya.He wondered ifatleast bythen Kaikeyi was happy.Their father was alustful man. So he got enmeshed in Kaikeyis crooked ideas.It seemed that lust was more powerful than Righteousness and other good traits in a man.If not how could the king sacrifice a dutiful ,righteus son like him?Now ,Bharatha and his would be happy and Bharatha could become the king after kings death.Aperson who does not follow right and justice would face thet same plight as Dasaradha.May be Kaikeyi has come to their family just to send Rama to the forest.To make king die and make her son the king.She would definitely humiliate Kousalya and Sumithra.Rama detested the idea of Sumithra being humiliated on his behalf. So Rama was requesting Lakshmana to return to Ayodhya the very next day and look after his mother.
