Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, I shall describe the marvelous conversation that took place between Lord Shambhu and Goddess Bhavani, listen to me carefully. It would remove your perplexities and anxiousness as well. It was in the Thretha Yuga, once Lord Shambhu was invited to visit the hermitage of Khatasambhava/Sage Agasthya, was accompanied by Paramba, Bhagavathi Jagathjanani Devi Sati. Sage Agasthya received the Lord of Lord Mahadeva and consort, the divine couple with great honor, and they engaged in the conversation on scriptures, Veda and Shastra. Sage Agasthya described the glorious legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra to Lord Mahesha, listened with immense delight. They conversed about the devotion to supreme Lord Hari and Shambhu who is a staunch devotee of Lord Hari described them all. In this way, the Sage Agasthya and Lord Shambhu spend several days in the discussion of various topics, and the legend of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Finally, the time has arrived, Lord Shambhu requested permission to leave to Mount Kailash with Dhakshakanya Devi Sati was permitted. During this period, Lord Sri Hari was personified as Rama in the illustrious clan of Raghu at the request of deities and Goddess Earth to reduce her burden, and provide welfare and happiness to the Santh, Mahathma noble-souls.  Lord Sri Rama along with Lakshman was wandering on the dense wood of Dandakavana in a saffron robe in order to keep up the promise given to his father, he was in a thorough search for his beloved consort Devi Sita all over the woods.”
