Chapter – 122– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Sage Yajjavalkya describes the loveliness of Rama, Devi Sita, and Lakshman walking to the woods

 

Sage Yajjavalkya speaks “Oh! Mune, Lord Rama who is the sun to the solar race, spreading joy all over the places proceeded to the woods with Devi Sita and Lakshman/Saumithri. Rama and Lakshman attired in saffron robes walked in such a way, as if the Paramathma walking along with the inseparable Maya, followed by the Jeevathma.  Rama walking on the forefront and Devi Sita thoughtfully following the footprints of Rama, and Lakshman was walking carefully without crossing the footprints of Devi Sita and Lord Rama. As if the Supreme Bhramam followed by his inseparable Maya/Devi Sita, and Lakshman the Jeevathma/soul following that supreme Bhramam and Maya. The beauty of Devi Sita was beyond words, excelled the beauty of Devi Rathi consort of Lord Manmatha, she has shone between the Lord and Vasantharithu, she has shone between Rama and Lakshman, like Devi Rohini between Budha and Chandra. Devi Sita meticulously followed Lord Rama, placing her feet between the footprints of Lord, and Lakshman walked alongside keeping a fair distance on the right of Rama and Devi Sita. How can I describe the affection shared between them? The birds and animals were transported to a state of bliss, watching the pair beautifully walking through the woods.”
