Chapter – 117– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Rama, Devi Sita, and Lakshman prepares to leave the villagers

 

The women assembled prostrated at the lotus feet of Devi Sita, and showered blessings “May you enjoy blissful happy married life as long the Earth rests on the head of serpent Adishesha! Oh! Sumukhi, be a chaste and dutiful wife like Devi Parvathi to Lord Shambhu!  Oh! Devi, kindly shower your compassionate grace on us, we earnestly pray with folded hands, while you return through this route, kindly allow us to get a glimpse of you, remember us as your female servants.” Devi Sita was highly pleased with the pure love and devotion of the women assembled, she comforted them with pleasing words like the lilies achieve the freshness from the moonlight. Shortly, Lakshman enquired the villagers about the route to the woods after reading the mind of Lord Rama, the villagers became gloomy and tears welled upon their eyes. Suddenly, their joy has disappeared, like the treasure bestowed was snatched away, soon they regained their courage and were given the details of the easiest pathway to the dense wood.
