All the people woke up at daybreak. "The Lord of Raghus has gone!" they loudly exclaimed. Nowhere could they find the tracks of the chariot and ran about in all directions crying "Rama, O Rama!" It seemed as if a bark had foundered in the ocean, as a result of which the party of merchants that had boarded it felt much agitated. Everyone explained to the other how Rama had forsaken them perceiving their distress. They condemned themselves and praised the fish (that died as soon as they were taken out of water), and said to one another; "A curse on our life without the Hero of Raghu's race! If God has torn us from our beloved, why did He not vouchsafe death to us on our asking?" Thus wailing in a variety of ways they all returned to Ayodhya full of remorse. The anguish of parting was terrible beyond words. Everyone survived in the hope of seeing Rama on the expiry of the term of exile.

In this way Sri Rama consoled all and cheerfully bowed His head at the lotus feet of His preceptor. Invoking Lord Ganapati, Goddess Gauri (Parvati) and the Lord of Kailasa and receiving the blessings of His Guru, the Lord of Raghus proceeded further. There was great lamentation as He sallied forth; the piteous wail of the citizens was revolting to the ears. Evil omens appeared in Lanka and Ayodhya was plunged in grief, while the abode of gods was overcome with a mixed feeling of joy and sorrow. When the spell of unconsciousness broke, the king woke and calling Sumantra thus began, "Rama has left for the woods, but my life refuses to depart. I wonder what joy it seeks after by clinging to this body! What agony more severe than this can I have, that will draw my breath out of my body?" Then, recovering himself, the king said, "Follow him, my friend, with your chariot."

When the Lord of Raghus saw His people overwhelmed with love, His tender heart was much afflicted. Lord Sri Rama, who is all compassion, is readily touched by others, pain. Addressing them in affectionate, soft and agreeable tones, He comforted all in ways more than one. He also gave them varied instructions in their moral duty; but overmastered by love they would not turn back even though urged to return. Sri Rama could not afford to take leave of His amiable disposition and loving nature; the Lord of Raghus thus found Himself in a fix. Overpowered by grief and toil the people fell asleep and the deluding potency of gods further helped to benumb their mind. When two watches of the night had passed, Sri Rama addressed the minister in endearing terms, "Father, drive the chariot in such a way as to mix up the tracks; by no other means can our object be accomplished."

Then Sumantra delivered to them the king's message and with humble submission persuaded Sri Rama to ascend the chariot. Having mounted the chariot Sita and the two brothers set out on their journey mentally bowing their head to Ayodhya. Finding Ayodhya masterless with the departure of Sri Rama all those who had assembled there followed in their wake with an agitated mind. Sri Rama remonstrated in many ways, an ocean of compassion that He was; and the crowd turned homewards. But dragged by the affection they bore for Him they came back and joined the party once more. Ayodhya presented a most dismal appearance as though it were the dark night of final dissolution of the universe. The men and women of the city looked like ghastly creatures and were frightened to see one another. Their houses appeared like so many crematories, their retainers like ghosts, and their sons, relations and friends like messengers of death. Trees and creepers in the gardens withered, while streams and ponds repelled the eyes

"If the two strong-minded brothers refuse to return-for the Lord of Raghus is true to his word and firm of resolve-then do you entreat him with joined palms: 'My lord, kindly send back the daughter of Mithila's king.' When Sita gets alarmed at the sight of the jungle, avail yourself of that opportunity and tell her my advice in the following words. "The parents of your husband have sent this message to you: Please return home, my daughter; there is much hardship in the forest. Now with your parents and now in your husband's home-stay wherever you please. In this way try all possible means; if she comes back, there will be a support to my life. Otherwise all this will end in my death; nothing can avail against an adverse fate." So saying the king dropped unconscious on the ground exclaiming: "Bring Rama, Laksmana and Sita and show them to me!"

All stood restless due to their separation from Sri Rama; they looked like so many pictures drawn here and there. The city resembled an extensive and thick forest full of fruits and the many men and women residing therein represented so many birds and beasts. God assigned Kaikeyi the role of a Bhila woman who set the whole forest in a fierce blaze. The people could not bear the fire of separation from the Chief of Raghus and they all ran away in distress. They all came to this conclusion in their mind: "There can be no happiness without Rama, Laksmana and Sita. The whole community will live where Rama takes up his abode; without the Hero of Raghu's race we have no business in Ayodhya." Having thus firmly resolved they followed Him forsaking their happy homes, which were the envy of gods. Can the pleasures of sense overpower those who hold the lotus feet of Sri Rama dear to their heart?

Accompanied by Sita and the minister the two brothers arrived at Srngaverapura. Beholding the celestial stream, Ganga, Sri Rama alighted from His car and fell prostrate on the ground with great joy. Laksmana, Sita and the minister too made obeisance and Sri Rama rejoiced in common with them all. A fount of all joys and blessings, the Ganga brings all delight and drives away all sorrow. Narrating numerous anecdotes connected with it, Sri Rama gazed on the waves of the Ganga and told the minister, His younger brother (Laksmana) and His beloved Consort the transcendent glory of the celestial stream. They took a plunge in the river and the fatigue of the journey was gone; and their hearts rejoiced when they drank of its holy water. That He whose very thought relieves the great toil of transmigration should feel fatigued shows that He imitated the ways of the world.

Issuing out of the palace the party halted at Vasistha's door and found the people scorched with the fire of impending separation. The Hero of Raghu's race comforted all with soothing words and then summoned hosts of Brahmanas. He requested His preceptor to give them subsistence for a year and captivated their hearts through courtesy, gift and humility. He gratified mendicants with gifts and attentions and sated His friends with pure love. He then called His men-servants and maid-servants and entrusting them to the care of His Guru spoke to him with joined palms, "My lord, pray look after them and tend them as their own father and mother." Again and again, with joined palms, Sri Rama addressed each one present there in soft accents, "He alone is friendly to me in every way, through whose good offices the king derives solace."
