Kripanidhan, you are the essence of Veda and Shastra, you are the Lord of Universe/Purusha, and your beloved consort Devi Sita is your inseparable Maya/Prakrithi, Oh!

Lakshman is none other than the Adishesha who bears the weight of the entire Universe on his hood, he is the thousand-headed Adhishesha, he is the supporter of the Universe and its living and non-living things. Oh! Prabho, you have personified as Rama, son of King Dhasharatha to protect the deities and destroy the wicked demons. Oh! Prabho, you are beyond the mind, intellect, and speech, you are that supreme Bhramam which is free from changes, eternal bliss, pure, unblemished, and has neither birth nor death. You are that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, hence the Veda eulogizes your splendor as ‘Na: Ithi Na: Ithi’/Nethi Nethi. Oh! Prabho, you are incomparable. Oh! Prabho, you are the cause and effect as well. You are well capable to make even Bhrama/creator, Vishnu/preserver, and destroyer Lord Shambhu dance to your tune; therefore, you are beloved of all.  You are not perceivable, you are known to those Yogis and Mahatmas Rishis and Sages who perceives that supreme Bhramam with the practice of truthfulness, Astheyam, Shamam, Dhamam, Ahimsa, Brahmacharya, Dhaya, Dhanam, Shaucham, etc. and finally unite with you. Oh! Raghunandhana, you are the ocean of mercy, you are beloved of distressed people. Oh! Prabho, you have personified as the son of King Dasaratha, for the welfare of deities, pious and noble souls, Mahatmas, and ascetics. Oh! Prabho, the dull-minded people get confused and the wise get delighted listening to your various amusements. Oh! Prabho, you are the eternal truth, and whatever you perform is to restore the truthfulness, like the one who has assumed the character plays his role on the podium.”

Sage Yajjavalkya spoke “ Oh! Mune, whoever witnessed the supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra along with Devi Sita and Lakshman on the way to woods achieved relief from the Thapathraya/three types of grief of worldly existence, and repeated births/Samsarachakra. Whoever remembers or dream of the supreme Lord Rama, Devi Sita, and Lakshman would achieve the supreme abode /Saketha, which is free from afflictions, grief, agony, and sorrow.  Lord of Raghu, Rama paused the journey of that day, realizing Devi Sita is worn out of exhaustion, they halted under the Banyan tree partook the fruits and rooted vegetables, stayed that night, at the early morning after bath and morning rites, they have proceeded to journey through the dense wood, watching the beauty of mountains, lush green lands, rivers, creepers, and cluster of tall trees, etc.  Finally, they have approached the hermitage of Sage Valmiki.
