Chapter – 149– Sri Ramacharitha Manas –
Ayodhya Kanda– Sumanthra details the journey of Rama to the woods
Sumanthra spoke gently “Oh! Rajan, the
first stop of their journey was taken place on the riverbank of Thamasa, they
have stayed that night quenching thirst from the crystal-clear water of the
river, and slept under the banyan tree without a meal. The second pause of the
journey was made at the riverbank of celestial river Ganga. The Nishadharaja
Guha showed great hospitality to Rama, Lakshman, and Devi Sita, and that night
they have stayed with the Nishadharaja in Shringaberipura, at the daybreak
Rama ordered for milk from the Banyan tree to get that beautiful curly hairlock tied on the pinnacle of the head, and the two-brother coiled up their
hairs on the top resembled a crown. Guha arranged for a ferry to cross river
Ganga, the compassionate Lord assisted Devi Sita to get on the board, and Lakshman
and Guha followed the couple on the ferry. Lakshman was all prepared with the
bow and arrow at the command of his elder brother. The Lord of Raghu saw me in
a miserable state, and pacified me with sweet words “Oh! Mahatma kindly
conveys our humble salutations at the lotus feet of my father, kindly ask him
not to worry about our safety in the woods. We are quite confident that his piousness,
virtues, and reward of his meritorious deeds would product us from all the
perils, his blessings would keep us happy and safe in the woods.”
