Sugreeva doubts Rama and Lakshmanas intentions

Sugreeva was roaming about ,on Rushyamooka mountains.He saw Rama and Lakshmana and was afraid of them.He could not stau calm. He called his ministers and well wishers and told them like this.Probably ,Vali might have sent these two people.They would have come in the guise of sages.His followers also got anxious and were moving from one hill top to another.Right hand man of Sugreeva,Hanumantha turned towards Sugreeva and told him .Hey King!come out of your tensions.We are staying on Rushyamooka mountains.Vali can not harm us as long as we are on these mountains.We are worrying unnecessarily. Vali replied him.Hanuma!you are telling these words just to make me relax.Did you not see those two people?Did you see their bodis? did you not see their Bows and arrows and swords?They are like deities.You are saying that Vali can not come here.But he would be having so many kings as his friends .May be these warriors are his friends.We should never relax.We should always be alert in such things.Vali is not a simpleton.He would execute things in an intelligent fashion.So,we should keep an eye on these individuals.So,Hanuma!you go to them in human form .learn everything about them and inform me.

Lakshmana lends moral support to Rama

Rama is continuing his desperate talk.If Seetha is with me,I do not want anything else.Feeling the breeze coming across Pampa lake,we can live happily.Only the most luckiest people have the chance to feel this adorable breeze.How can Seetha live without me?What reply should I give Janaka,if asks about Seetha in public?Even after I lost my kingdom,she followed me to the woods. Where would she be now?When can I hear again her sweet voice and lovable talk? She always talks to me in a smiling attitude. She would talk the things which I like most and which are in my best interest.When he was interested in having her physically,she would make him feel that she was happy even without physical desire.Because she does not his vanavaasa vratham to be diluted by mere physical desires. Lakshmana started consoling his brother again.Rama !you are the greatest.You should not be sorrowful like this.Even love should no be too intense. If so,it would burn you.Even if Ravana hides in paathaala ie underground,he can not escape from us.We will surely learn every thing about him.He either has to give Seetha or his life.Recoup yourself. Regain your confidence.Come out of your pleading and sorrowful mood.Being happy would be our strength.If we have interest,we can achieve anything in this world.Let us start searching Seetha.we are sure to find her. But all you need is little josh.Do not be frustrated. Do not pine for love life with Seetha.Kick your sorrow backwards and start action.You are a great person.you are unable to realise yourself. With these words of Lakshmana ,Rama regained himself.they left Pampa lake and started their journey.They searched all about that place but could not find Seetha.They started to find Sugreeva.

Kishkindhaa kaandamu... Rama frustrated

Rama and Lakshmana reached Pampa lake.the lake was full of flowers.It was spring season.Rama relaxed a little bit seeing that beauty.But it did not last long. He remebered Seetha and was depressed.He turned towards Lakshmana and started to speak out his mind.Lakshmana !are you seeing these flowers,this LAke and the trees?Flowers are falling to the ground from trees as if trees are raining flowers.These flowers are in many hues.After falling on the ground,the ground is looking like adorned by a beautiful multicolored diamond studded carpets.wind is whispering lovers tit bits in the ears.I am concerned about Bharatha and Seetha.But being away from Seetha in this beautiful season of spring is making me yearn for her.This is enhancing my sorrow.Manmadha is pestering me right now.It seems that koel is making fun of me by singing from the trees.I am starting to think that my life is a pure waste without Seetha. So,what if I die?With out Seetha,I do not have any purpose to live in this world.It is utterly useless.This spring season is enhancing my sorrow for Seetha. Are you seeing that peacock which is dancing before its hen? Just because no demon had snatched its partner ,it is able to be so happy and dancing with its partner.If some demon had snatched away my wife,I too would have been enjoying this spring in her presence.Lakshmana!it is very difficult live in this woods in this manner. Lakshmana!are you seeing these flowers which are wilting away and falling on the ground? may be SPRING IS IN ITS FULL SWING EVEN AT THE PLACE WHERE sEETHA IS STAYING. Even she too would be pining for me and my love there all alone.I am afraid that not withstanding my absence for such a long period,she has lost her life .She loves me very much.Our romantic life is very strong.We can not live without another even for a minute. Cool winds,which are carrying the scents of blooming flowers are touching my face. but I am feeling them hot and irritating in Seethas absence.Are you seeing this Bhramaram? It looks as if it is going fast to reach its lady love and settling on those flowers to suck nectar. Are you seeing that mango tree? She is looking great and in grand manner with all the fruits adorned allover it.Kinneras are wandering in couples in this beautiful place.See!elephants and deers are coming to this lake to drink water.Entire pond is full of lotus flowers.Seetha likes lotus flowers very much.I am disinterested to continue my life after she left me.Are you seeing the act of Manmadha? He is making me remember Seetha and love life I led with her repeatedly.What all appeared pleasant and beautiful ,when I was in her presence are makingm me painful in her absence. When I am seeing at the petals of lotus,I am remembering Seethas eyes.When cool breeze passes over me,I am remembered of her inhaling and exhalation. Lakshmana!are you seeing these different kinds of scented flowers?The way the creepers are twining over and above the trees is appearing to me like lustful women running after their lovers.That bhramaram is going and sitting on each and every flower.Flowers are falling on the ground and it is like a colorful bed waiting to be used by lovers. Those trees are appearing to be competing with each in giving more and more flowers.Those birds are making love with each other.Seeing all these things,my frustration is increasing.If Seetha is here,that is enough for me.I do not want even Indras post in heaven.I do not even want Ayodhya.

Rama and Lakshmana meet Sabari

Rama and Lakshmana saw Sabaris aasramam.It was full of beautiful trees.They saw Sabari. She was very old.She saluted them with reverence.She welcomed them with warm heart and fed them with ripe and sweet fruits.They ate them with love and affection towards her.Rama enquired her well being.He asked if her penance and her help to the great sages was going on smoothly.He asked if she was content with what she had. Sabari was happy.Her happiness knew no bounds,because it was her dream come true to see Rama and Lakshmana alive and in front of her.She said that her lifes ambition of seeing him was completed.So,she would go to heaven.She started telling Rama.Rama!Disciples of Mathanga rishi left for heaven when Rama came to Chitrakoota mountain.While leaving her,They told that Rama and Lakshmana were sure to come there to visit her.After seeing Rama, they told her, to come to heaven.From that day ,she was immersed in collecting sweet and ripe fruits for Rama.She was waiting for their arrival. Rama told her that Kabandha told them about her.If she was interested ,they wanted to see the place and enjoy their stay.Sabari was happy to show that place in detail to Rama and Lakshmana.She started telling him.Rama!My gurus,Great sages did many Yajans there.In this place,Rishis are very aged and their bodies are dried up with regular fasting. They do not even have the strength to go to the water and take bath.So,with their powerful intention only,they made all the sapthasamudras to come to their abode and were taking bath there itself.To pray god,they used to bring lose flowers and some garlands. But they never wilt and dry up. It is all the power of their penance. Sabari requested his permission to end her life and go to heaven where her gurus went.Rama was happy togive her permission to go to heaven. Rama and Lakshmana wrer happy to see that aasramam. they bathed in sapthasamudras.They performed last rites to their departed elders.They were happy that all their troubles were coming to an end.They were confident that good times were about to come soon.They were relaxed. They had no tension. They wanted to meet Sugreeva as early as possible.They went to Pampa lake.It was so pleasant just to look at it.

Valis residence

Kabandha continued telling Rama and Lakshmana about that place.If you go west wards from Pampa lake,you will come across an aasramam,abode of rishis.That aasramam is in a secret place.There are many elephants in that forest.But due to Mathanga munis effect,they wont come there.The forest there is very beautiful. It is awe inspiring like nandanavanam and other celestial woods.You will forget all your troubles and problems as soon as you enter that place. Rushya mooka parvatham is in front of Pampa lake.If a person sleeps on this mountains and dreams that he acquired riches,then even in reality ,he would definitely procure the riches.But if a sinner and a bad person climb it,they are sure to lose their lives. Rama!there is a cave in that mountain.Its entrance is closed by a huge rock.There is a pond towards its eastern side.Water of that pond would be cool and tasty.Around that pond,Flowering creepers,trees and fruit bearing trees are there and it is an adorable place.But it is not easy to go there.Sugreeva lives there with four of his ministers.He would be roaming all around the place.You go fast and make friendship with him. You would definitely succeed in your accomplishment. Saying these helpful words,Kabandha left for heaven. As suggested by Kabandha,Rama and Lakshmana walked west wards to reach Pampa lake.That night,they slept on the mountain and reached western banks of Pampa lake,the next day.

Speciality of Rushya mooka parvatham

Kabandha continued telling Rama about Vali.Sugreeva is Suns son.Enmity had developed between Sugreeva and his brother,Vali.Sugreeva lives on Rushyamooka parvatham,which is besides Pampa lake.You go to him. Take oath on your arms and weapons that you would make friendship with him.That is very important. Sugreeva knows all the places around,where demons live. There is no place remaining which he does not know.He would search all over and find Seetha.He would send his army of monkeys to search Seetha.He is sure to find Seetha in Ravanas abode.Even if Seetha is in underground or high above Meru mountain,Sugreeva is sure to find her,kill all the demons and bring her back safely. Rama!areb you seeing the cluster of trees westwards?You travel that way.In that forest,trees bloom and fructify all through the year.If you cross those trees and travel among the woods,hills and trees ,you would find Pampa lake.In that LAKE,Pampa,there are many species and varieties of fish.Waters are so clean,pure and clear.If you walk through those blooming trees in the venings,you are sure to forget all your problems and relax. Rama!flowers in those trees never wilt.They donot fall to the ground.There are disaciples of great sage,Mathanga.When they take necessary things to their Guru,sweat which drops from their bodies has become flowers by the power of their penance.So,they never wilt and dry up.But during period of time,all his disciples have passed away.But their servant maid,Sabari,is still living there.She is waiting to see you.After seeing you to her hearts content, she would go to heaven.

Kabandha tells about Sugreeva

Rama tells Kabandha his story.Kabandha!We know ,just the name of the demon who captured my wife,Seetha,as Ravana.We know nothing else about him.We are in tension.Please help us.We would cremate you preperly.But,please tel us about Seethas where abouts. Kabandha replied in negative. Rama!I do not have any celestial powers.So,I do not know any thing about Seetha.After my cremation,I will regain those extra powers.Then,I may help you in all the possible manner.Please do my last rites before sunset.I would direct you to a good friend,who can be immense help to you.He traveled the entire world.There is nothing he does not know. Rama and Lakshmana performed last rites to Kabandhas dead body.Kabandha regained his earlier celestial form and an airplane came to take him to heaven.Kabandha stood above the ground in space and told Rama.Rama!I would tell you a secret by which you can find Seetha.A person ,who has problems can identify one who needs help.If such two people become friends,then both their difficulties would come to an end.Now,You are in difficulties. There is a vanara ie monkey.He has an elder brother, named Vali.Being shunted by his Vali,Sugreeva lives in Rushyamooka parvatham, along with his ministers.Sugreeva is a righteous man.He has all the good qualities.He is a great warrior.He would definitely help you in finding Seetha.Rama!do not repent.You meet Sugreeva at the earliest.Make friendship with him,keeping Agni,the fire as saakshi ie witness.If you do like that both the parties would be loyal and rightful towards their friendship. Sugreeva is not a common man.Do not under estimate him,thinking that he is a mere monkey.He is the king of Vanaras. He is kamaroopi.He is grateful to those who help him.He has gratitude also.He will also request you for help.

Kabandha reveals his story

Kabandha remembered his earlier life.He also remembered what Indra had told him.He was happy that his curse was lifted off him. He started telling Rama his story. Oh Great men!I welcome you!I happen to see you purely because of my luck.Because of my earlier good deeds only,you cut off my shoulders.I will tell you the story ,how I got this grotesque body.Previously I had celestial body.My nature of making fun of others brought this curse to me.I used to frighten sages with this grotesque figure.One day I went to frighten a sage named Sdhoolasirudu.He got angry and cursed me that I retain and detain the same figure.I pleaded with him,when my curse would be lifted?Hr replied that when ever Rama comes and cuts off your shoulders and burn your body to ashes,then only your curse would be cancelled. Rama!I am from Danuvu dynasty.My fathers name is Sree.I have another curse given by Indra.I did great penance and obtained a boon FROM BRAHMA that I have long life. I was proud that I had this boon. So,I thought even Indra can do me no harm. So,I went to war against him.He used his Vajraayudham to attack me. With its effect,my head,mu thighs shrunk into my entire body .I felt averse to live with such a body and requested Indra to kill me.Then ,Indra told that since Brahma gave me boon of long life,I could not be killed.So,he had to live like that only.I pleaded him that how I could live without even a mouth.How can I take food,I lamented.Then Indra gave me long shouldres and hands and created this big mouth with canine teeth. I came to this forest.I attract wild animals like lions,elephants,tigers,and other animals and eat them.From that I am waiting for your arrival.So,you are that Rama for whom I was waiting all along.May good happen to you.No one can kill me,except you.Please do last rites to me after putting me to fire and cremation.I would show a good friend .

Rama and Lakshmana captured by Kabandha

Suddenly ,they heard a huge sound.They saw from where it was coming. they saw a demon near a bush.He was Kabandha.His mouth was in his stomach.He had neither head nor neck.He had one eye on his chest.He had hands,one mile long.He was grotesque to look at.He was eating wild animals of the forest,like lions,elephants,and bears.He stopped Rama and Lakshmana with his long and powerful hands.Rama did not lose confidence,but Lakshmana was afraid.Lakshmana told his brother.Rama!you leave me to this mountain of a demon.You go and search Seetha.You will secure Seetha definitely.When you go back to Ayodhya and rule the kingdom,remember about me.Rama told Lakshmana not to worry.He gave him confidence not to be afraid.A warrior should never feel let down. Kabandha addressed them. Who are you? you are wearing Bow and arrows and holding a sword.Why did you come here. May be to be eaten by me.You have come near mouth.You can not return alive from me.Rama was aghast hearing these words.He turned towards Lakshmana and talked to him.Lakshmana!I am dying without finding Seetha.Difficulties are fast approaching me one after another.Aah!time is very influential.Nothing is impossible for it.All our attempts are merely house of play cards.Whether one is valiant or a great soul,he should abide by the rules of time. Kabandha was shouting at them. I am hungry.What are you doing there?Come near me,so that I can get hold of you and eat.Lakshmana told Rama that they should cut the demons hands to escape from him.Kabandha tried to catch hold of them and eat them by opening his large mouth.But,Rama cut his right hand and Lakshmana ,the left hand.Kabandha became desperate and asked them,who they were. Lakshmana replied him. He is Rama. He is from Ikshvaaku dynasty.I am his younger brother.My name is Lakshmana.One demon has snatched away ,my brothers wife.We are searching her.Who are you?wWhy are you in this shape and figure? As soon as Lakshmana questioned him,Kabandha remembered his earlier life.

Lakshmana meets Ayomukhi

Rama and Lakshmana crossed Dandakaaranya .searching Seetha all the way.They came to krounchaaranyam forest on their way.Then ,turning east wards,they walked for some more distance and came nearer to Mathangaasramam.It was a dense forest.One fears to walk through it.There ,they came across a cave. It was very dark inside.Near that cave,a grotesque demon was sitting. To look at her was in itself fear rising.Lakshmana was walking in the front. Suddenly,she saw Lakshmana and hugged him.She started blabbering to Lakshmana.Nadha!My name is Ayomukhi. I like you.We would stay here and lead a happy and enjoyable life roaming in the woods and near by lakes. But one knows what Lakshmana does to Demons. He took his sword and cut her nose and ears.She ran away crying with pain . Again Rama and Lakshmana started walking in the woods.Lakshmana turned towards Rama and told him.Rama!my left shoulder is shivering. I am concerned.I am seeing bad omens all around. I feel that war is going to happen in no time.Be prepared for war. take your bow and arrows and be alert.Cries of Vanchulaka pakshi is boding victory for us.

Rama performs last rites to Jataayuvu

Rama told Lakshmana with sorrow.Lakshmana!see!this king of Eagles tried to help me but lost his life in the process.He left his kingdom and lost his life for my cause.Sages and righteous people valiant people are found even in wild animals and birds to me.Jataayuvu dedicated his life to me.The sorrow I am feeling for the loss of Jataayuvu is more than I am feeling for the loss of Seetha.Jataayuvu is to be respected like father by us. Lakshmana!bring wood and prepare for the last rites of Jataayuvu.We would create fire by friction and we would burn his dead body to ashes.He ,the,turned towards the dead body of Jataayuvu and told these words. Jataayuvu!I give you permission. Your last rites would be fulfilled by me.You would go to heaven which could be achieved by great ahithaagnulu,great sages,and to those who donate land to the poor. Saying this,Rama performed Last rites properly and with devotion. He crumbled with desperation.He brought an animal and killed it. He performed pinda pradaanam .He recited Vedamanthras and sent Jataayuvu to heaven.Then,Rama and Lakshmana went to river,Godavari and bathed there and performed jala tharpanam to Jataayuvu. Jataayuvu was a great soul,who fought and lost his life in war. He earned accolades by his superior act.He was lucky to have his last rites performed by Rama and went to Heaven.

Rama and Lakshmana come across Jataayuvu

Rama started walking accompanied by Lakshmana.Searching in the woods,they cameto the place where Jataayuvu was lying on the ground.Jataayuvus huge body was filled with blood smears.As soon as Rama saw him,He called Lakshmana and rold him.Lakshmana!this person would have eaten my Seetha.This demon might have come in the guise of an eagle. I will immediately kill him.Saying so,Rama took his bow and arrows and approached Jataayuvu.Jataayuvu was in the last phase of his life. He addressed Rama in an imploring manner. Rama! the person you are searching is taken away by Ravana.He has taken away my life too.I observed that he was taking away Seetha in your absence.I stalled and fought with him.I broke his chariot.I broke his bow. I trampled his body shield.I killed his charioteer.See there. All are lying down there only.Ravana clipped my wings.He took Seetha by air.That demon has already killed me. Do not kill me again. Seeing the pathetic way,Jataayuvu was lying,Ramas sorrow knew no bounds.he wept very much.He kept away bow and arrows and wept. Lakshmana also felt sorry and was down with sorrow and unhappiness.Rama addressed Lakshmana. Lakshmana!WHAT ARE THESE HARDSHIPS? I have no luck at all.I am ill fated.I lost my kingdom.I came to the woods. I lost Seetha. Now,Jataayuvu is about to die.My ill fate will ignite even the fire.If I touch the ocean with my feet,it would dry up.I am tangled in web of ill fate and curse.Because of my ill fate only,now Jataayuvu is dying. Weeping like this,He hugged Jataayuvu, his fathers friend.He asked Jataayuvu.Jataayu!if you have the strength,please give us information about Seetha and Ravana.Where does he live/How is he? Jataayuvu told that the demon created black clouds and darkness.He took away Seetha with him by air.He cut my wings and took her south wards. Rama!my head is reeling. I am unable to fix my eyes on you.I am unable to breath.The moment when Ravana took away Seetha is Vinda muhurtham. That is a good time.object or thing lost in that muhurtham is bound to come back to the owner.So,do not be dejected. You will get back Seetha.You will definitely kill that demon,Ravana. You will bring back Seetha and live with her happily. Ravana is the son of Visravasudu.Kubera is his brother. Rama was hearing the words of Jataayuvu ,but they stopped abruptly.Jataatuvu died. Rama and Lakshmana wept for his loss.

Lakshmana makes Rama sea reason and reality

Lakshmana then saluted Rama with respect and reverence.He told him reason in these words. Rama!you are always a well wisher of pancha bhoothas...the five elements which this universe is made of.Why this anger now?If some dirty fellow does some mistake,is it proper to destroy the entire universe?Let us be practical.Let us find find out who is the owner of this chariot and arrows.It is not definite who broke this chariot and this bow.It is evident that a great war occured here.It seems to be mostly one sided.indications regarding army is not visible.Kings should punish the wronged ones. They should not kill them. Rama!you always protect the entire life on this earth. no one would say that what you are going through and what you lost is negligible.We will find out the demon who snatched Seetha and punish him.We would make a thorough search in the oceans,on the mountains,in the caves and even in swargam ie heaven.If we can not bring her back by respectable and decent means ,we would definitely use our arrows. Rama!Dasaradha did great penance and got you as his son.He loved you for your good character and good traits.He died because you left him for the words.Because of Gods intervention,now you are facing difficulties.If a great man ,like you can not withstand this,can ordinary people bear it? It is natural for human beings to suffer and pass through difficulties.Do you not know the fate of Yayaathi,even while in heaven?Great sage like Vasishta,also lost his hundred sons in just one day.Even this earth trembles at the time earth quakes.Even Sun and moon undergo eclipse.Even the deities can not forestall the act of God.Even Indra suffers from hardships too many a time. Even if Seetha is confiscated or killed,you should not repent like a common man.Great and wise people like you do not pine in times of difficulties.Be rational and find out the truth.Good and bad ,we receive in this world is the fruits of our behavour in our previous life.We can not know for sure,what is going to happen in the next minute.You taught me this truth so many times in the past.Is there anyone on this earth,who can tell you what is right and what is wrong? Rama!you are a wise man.There is nothing you do not know.Just because you are in sorrow,your wisdom has left you.I am just making you recollect things. Never think I am either preaching you or teaching you. Show your valor to your enemy.Why do you destroy the world?You find out the person who harmed you or made you suffer.Kill him! Rama accepted Lakshmanas words and put down his bow and arrows. Slowly he asked Lakshmana to tell him how they should go about searching Seetha. Lakshmana told him that first they should search in the near by places. They would make thorough search among caves, mountains,and in the forests.Be confident.People likeyou should be brave enough to face the hardships.

Rama decides to destroy the entire world

Rama is in acute agony for the loss of his wife. He is still talking to Lakshmana .Lakshmana!see this umbrella!It is shining with thousand diamonds.Donkeys which drag the chariot are dead.Chariot is destroyed beyond repair.Flag mast is crushed to the ground.See!how many arrows are on the ground!Even the charioteer is lying on the ground ,dead.See here!two more demons are dead !It seems are the assistants of the main demon.Are you seeing in this corner?Demons foot prints are visible.My anger towards demons has increased hundred fold now.Demons would either have captured her or killed and eaten her.Aah!even righteousness could not protect and safe guard Seetha!If Seetha is not there,there is no other soul in this entire world,who can make me happy! Lakshmana!there is no word like kindness in this world any more.Even if the valiant creator of these worlds is kind hearted,people would refuse to recognise his valor. they would ill treat and humiliate him.Just because I am kind hearted towards each and very one,even deities are under the impression that I do not have any valor left in me. Lakshmana!even the good traits have become liabilities ,being with me.Now is the time for me to show my valor. Early morning sun depletes moonlight. Similarly I would show off my valor and lessen my good qualities.This very moment,I am going to destroy the entire demons,and all the pancha bhoothaas.I would cover the entire sky with my arrows.I would make sure that no one can move about freely in all the three worlds.I would stop the movement of all the planets.I would definitely nullify fire,air and water on this planet.I would crush mountains into fine powder.I will dry out the oceans.I would decompose all the three worlds.If they do not bring back my Seetha in good shape,I would show my valor,right at this minute.For the sake of Seetha,I would see that there are no more demons remaining on this earth.I want Seetha,as she is always. Other wise,I would destroy the entire universe. Saying this he took his Bow and arrow and commented like this. Lakshmana!I am starting my use of these arrows and bow this very minute.No one can stop me now.I want Seetha back as she has been till now.Otherwise,I would topple this entire world.

Rama observes Seethas foot prints

Rama and Lakshmana started southwards.They were walking with their heads bowed down. Rama observed some flowers on the ground.He recognised them at once.He turned towards Lakshmana and told him.Lakshmana!these flowers are definitely Seetha sflowers.I only brought them and gave them to her to adorn in her head.Dont you see? it is a wonder!Sun god,earth,and god of air,Vaayudeva have been protecting these flowers since then from wilting and drying.They wanted to help me in my quest for Seetha.He relaxed a little bit. He turned towards Prasravana mountain and made enquiries .O mountain king!Did you see any beautiful woman who was worrying and tensed up in my absence?His words reverberated and appeared as though the mountain was asking Rama that question.He asked again. O mountain!please show me my Seetha.Otherwise,I would destroy you and your riches.Mountain kept quiet.Rama lost his temper and threatened it that he would burn the mountain to ashes with his arrows. Rama, then,turned towards Lakshmana and told him that if the river did not answer him in the affirmative,he would definitely dry it.Just the, Rama saw something on the ground.He saw some demons large foot prints.He also observed Seethas footprints ,which showed that she was running hither and thither.Bow was found broken.Number of arrows were scattered on the ground.Chariot was found broken and lying on the ground. Rama turned towards Lakshmana and showed them to him.he also told this.Lakshmana!See!Gold powder from the ornaments of Seetha has fallen here.See these garlands.Blood smears are seen all over the ground.Lakshmana!did the demons kill Seetha and eat her.It seems two demons have fought for Seethas body.Who would have owned this bow which is broken and is lying on the ground?See this body shield.It is studded with diamonds,rubies and other precious stones. It is shining like Morning sun.

Rama and Lakshmana enquire rivers,mountains,animals and birds

Lakshmana tried to bring confidence to Rama. Rama!what is the use of repenting?leave your sorrow!regain confidence!We will search for Seetha without any type of negligence.Enthusiastic people never lose theri confidence inspite of many hardships. Dont you know that? Rama could not control his grievance inspite of Lakshmanas soothing words.Rama started asking Lakshmana to go to GodavariRiver and see if Seetha had gone there for Lotus flowers.Lakshmana went there and asked the river if she had seen Seetha near its surroundings. there was no reply forthcoming from the river.Godavari river was afraid of the demon ,Ravana.So she maintained silence.Ravana was depressed with her silence and started weeping again. Again he called Lakshmana.Lakshmana!Godavari river is not kind towards me. I can not live without Seetha. I can not sleep peacefully.Lakshmana!did you observe? these animals are looking again and again.May be they want to tell me about Seetha.Hey !wild animals of the forest!Do you know ,where Seetha is ? All the wild animals stood up and turned their heads towards the sky and started running towards southern side.They started looking towards Rama and ran again implying the direction in which Seetha went. Lakshmana observed their moves.He told his elder brother the same thing. Hey Rama!all these animals are running in southern direction. so,it would be appropriate if we search Seetha in this direction.
