Seeing that His mother was too overwhelmed with emotion to speak any more and
was greatly agitated, ›r∂ Råma consoled her in various ways; the gravity of the occasion
and the intensity of affection was more than one could describe. Janakaís Daughter then
threw Herself at Her mother-in-lawís feet and said, ìI tell you, mother: I am most unluckly
in that at a time when I should have served you heaven has exiled me to the forest and
has refused to grant my desire. Pray be not perturbed any more but at the same time
cease not to entertain kindly feelings towards me. Relentless is fate and there is no fault
of mine either.î The mother-in-law was so distressed to hear S∂tåís words that I have no
words to describe her condition. Again and again she pressed her Daughter-in-law to her
breast and recovering herself admonished and blessed Her: ìMay the blessed state of
your wifehood (the longevity of your husband) know no break and endure so long as the
streams of the Ga∆gå and Yamunå continue to flow.î (1ó4)

The mother-in-law blessed and admonished S∂tå in various ways and the
latter parted from her, most affectionately bowing Her head at her lotus feet again and
again. (69)

When Lakmaƒa got the news he started up in confusion and ran with a doleful
face. Trembling all over with his hair standing on end and eyes full of tears he clasped
›r∂ Råmaís feet much excited with emotion. He was unable to speak and stood gazing
piteously like a fish taken out of water. There was anxiety in his heart. ìWhat is going
to happen, O good heavens?î he said to himself. ìAll my joy and merits are over now.
What will the Lord of Raghus command me to do? Will he leave me at home or take me
