<strong>Ramayana</strong>: A Divine Drama – Vol. V<br />

dream. I saw one monkey entering Lanka and setting the city<br />

ablaze. I also saw very clearly that Rama invaded Lanka, killed<br />

Ravana and took you to Ayodhya.” Ajata too counselled Sita<br />

saying, “Oh! Mother! It is true. I too had a similar dream. You<br />

need not be sorry anymore.” (SSS Vol.39 p.240)Vibhishana was<br />

crowned the emperor of Lanka. Throughout the length and<br />

breadth of the land, the name of Rama was resounding. Then<br />

Rama sent for Sita. Sisters of the Rakshasa clan! Take note, I<br />

never get dreams. I haven’t seen any so far. So if I dream at all,<br />

know it will certainly come true. It will happen just as in the<br />

dream. Moreover, the realisation, in actual fact, of the dream will<br />

not take long. Things must happen just as I dreamt, <strong>with</strong>in four<br />

or five days.” (RKRV Part II p. 131-132)<br />

Both of them gave a lot of love and kindled faith in Sita. In fact,<br />

their father Vibhishana was a devotee of Rama. Hence, his<br />

daughters too developed devotion towards Rama. (SSS Vol.39<br />

p.240)<br />

Sarama feels blessed to be of service to Sita:<br />

One day, Sarama approached Sita, fell at her feet and prayed,<br />

“Mother! This has been a unique good fortune that I have had.<br />

My daughter also has been blessed by this opportunity. My<br />

husband is a person of sound character. He is also a devotee of<br />

Rama. He has surrendered himself to Rama at the seashore. I am<br />

thrilled that our entire family has had this unique opportunity of<br />

being at Rama’s service.” Sita felt a little consoled when she<br />

heard this from Sarama; she realized that she had someone she<br />

could trust, near her. (SSB 2002 p.115-117)<br />
