Chapter – 99– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Sumanthra returns empty-handed to Ayodhya after several attempts to convince Rama to return home

 

Devi Sita continues “Oh! Revered one, kindly convey my humble salutations at the feet of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and request them not to grieve for me, I am naturally happy in the company of my Lord in the woods. I have Lord of my life is on one side, and dearest brother-in-law on the other, they are the foremost heroes in archery, wielded on bow and arrows. I do not get tired or exhausted by the long journeys in the woods, and I have no grief or unhappiness, therefore kindly pray to my parents-in-law not to grieve for me.” Sumanthra felt uneasy like a serpent lost its gem, after listening to the most agreeable words of Devi Janaki. Sumanthra could not bear the grief, could not speak a word, soon Rama approached Sumanthra with soothing words, but nothing could give solace to him. Sumanthra made all efforts to prompt Rama to return to Ayodhya was failed, Rama who is the delight of Raghu’s pacified Sumanthra with the most courteous replies each time. Finally, Sumanthra understood Rama is unfaltering from his promise to his father, the fate of the Ayodhya and its subjects has turned unpromising. Sumanthra was prostrated at the lotus feet of Prabhu Sri Ramachandra, Lakshman, and Devi Sita, and withdrawn with tears running down the cheeks like the merchant lost all his wealth.
