Chapter – 243– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Ayodhya Kanda– Sage Vashishta insists Rama allow the people of Ayodhya to enjoy his presence and get relieved from their grief

 

Sage Vashishta spoke “Oh! Rama, you are the symbol of righteousness and mercy, that was made you speak in such a way, but the people of Ayodhya are grieving for a long time at your separation, let them get relieved from grief and sufferings and enjoy your presence for another couple of days.” Rama felt auspicious windblown on his favor listening to the most appropriate words of the preceptor, they bathed thrice in a day in the holy river Payaswini, the mere sight of this holy river is capable to remove the host of sins. The people assembled took feast on the marvelous appearance of the Lord of Raghu who is the essence of auspiciousness and welfare, prostrated before Rama repeatedly.  They collectively went to see the loveliness of Chitrakoot, but the beauty of wood was not so impressive in the absence of Rama who is the remover of grief and sufferings of the Jeeva. All the crystal-clear watercourses in the hills had the sweetness of nectar, could take away the miseries and grief of the people. The cool and fragrant breeze taken away their exhaustion of the journey soon revitalized their body and mind. The loveliness of the woods, the plants, trees, creepers, of various kinds loaded with alluring flowers of rich fragrance and succulent fruits, the lush green land, beautiful shelter homes on the pathways, was beyond description.
