When the Lord of Raghus saw His people overwhelmed with love, His tender heart
was much afflicted. Lord ›r∂ Råma, who is all compassion, is readily touched by others,
pain. Addressing them in affectionate, soft and agreeable tones, He comforted all in ways
more than one. He also gave them varied instructions in their moral duty; but overmastered
by love they would not turn back even though urged to return. ›r∂ Råma could not afford
to take leave of His amiable disposition and loving nature; the Lord of Raghus thus found
Himself in a fix. Overpowered by grief and toil the people fell asleep and the deluding
potency of gods further helped to benumb their mind. When two watches of the night had
passed, ›r∂ Råma addressed the minister in endearing terms, ìFather, drive the chariot
in such a way as to mix up the tracks; by no other means can our object be
accomplished.î (1ó4)

Bowing their head to the feet of Lord ›ambhu (›iva) ›r∂ Råma, Lakmaƒa and S∂tå
mounted the car; and the minister (Sumantra) immediately drove the chariot now in one
direction and now in another, thus confusing the tracks. (85)

All the people woke up at daybreak. ìThe Lord of Raghus has gone!î they loudly
exclaimed. Nowhere could they find the tracks of the chariot and ran about in all
directions crying ìRåma, O Råma!î It seemed as if a bark had foundered in the ocean,
as a result of which the party of merchants that had boarded it felt much agitated.
