Having partaken of the bulbs, roots and fruits alongwith Sita, Sumantra and His
brother (LakShmana), the Jewel of Raghu's race lay down to sleep, while His
brother kneaded His feet. (89)

When LakShmana perceived that his lord had fallen asleep, he rose and asked the
minister in soft accents to retire. As for himself he got ready his bow and
arrows and sitting at some distance in the posture of a hero he kept watch. Guha
called his trusted watchmen and stationed them at different points with great
love; while he himself went and took his seat beside LakShmana with a quiver
fastened to his waist and an arrow fitted to his bow. When the NiShada chief saw
his lord lying (on a bed of grass and leaves) he felt great sorrow in his heart
due to excess of love; the hair on his body bristled, tears flowed from his eyes
and he addressed the following affectionate words to LakShmana: `The king's
palace is naturally charming; even Indra's residence can hardly stand comparison
with it. Its beautiful atics are built of precious gems and are so lovely as
though the god of love has constructed them with his own hands.' (1-4)

Again they are equipped with coverlets and sheets, pillows and cushions of
various kinds-all soft, white and charming as the froth of milk.  It is in such
attics that Sita and Rama used to sleep at night and humbled by their beauty the
pride of Rati and her consort, the god of love. Those very Sita and Rama are now
lying on a pallet, exhausted and uncovered, a sight one cannot bear to see. The
same Lord Rama whom his father and mother, his own family and the people of the
city, his good-natured companions, men- servants and maid-servants, all
cherished as their own life, sleeps on the ground ! Nay, Sita, whose father
Janaka is famed throughout the world, whose father-in-law is King Dasharatha,
the chief of Raghus and an ally of Indra (the lord of immortals) and whose
spouse is Ramacandra, is lying on the ground! An adverse fate spares none. Do
Sita and the Hero of Raghu's race deserve to be exiled to the woods? They
rightly say: `Fate is supreme.' (1-4)

`The wicked woman has played the axe in felling the tree of the solar race and
plunged the whole universe in woe.' The NiShada chief was sore distressed to see
Rama and Sita sleeping on the ground. LakShmana spoke to him sweet and gentle
words imbued with the nectar of wisdom, dispassion and devotion: 'No one is a
source of delight or pain to another; everyone reaps the fruit of one's own
actions, brother. Union and separation, pleasurable and painful experiences,
friends, foes and neutrals-snares of delusion are these. Even so birth and
death, prosperity and adversity, destiny and time and all the illusion of the
world; lands, houses, wealth, town and family, heaven and hell, and all the
phenomena of the world; nay, whatever is seen, heard or thought of with the mind
has its root in ignorance: nothing exists in reality.' (1-4)

`Suppose in a dream a king becomes a pauper and apauper becomes lord of
paradise; on waking, the one does not gain nor does the other lose
anything. So must you look upon this world.' (92)

`Reasoning thus be not angry nor blame anyone in vain. Everyone is slumbering in
the night of delusion, and while asleep one sees dreams of various kinds. In
this night of mundane existence it is Yogis (mystics) alone who keep awake-Yogis
who are in quest of the highest truth and remain aloof from the world. A soul
should be deemed as having awoke from the night of the world only when he
develops and aversion for the enjoyments of the world of sense. It is only when
right understanding comes that the error of delusion disappears and then alone
one develops love for the feet of Shri Rama (the Lord of Raghus). O friend, the
highest spiritual goal is this: to be devoted to the feet of Shri Rama in
thought, word and deed. Shri Rama is no other than Brahma (God), the supreme
Reality, unknown, imperceptible, beginningless, incomparable, free from all
change and beyond all diversity. The Vedas ever speak of Him in negative terms
(not this).' (1-4)

`For the sake of His devotees, Earth, the Brahmanas, cows and gods, the gracious
Lord takes the form of a man and performs actions by hearing of which the snares
of the world are broken asunder.' (93)

`Realizing this, O friend, shed all infatuation and be devoted to
the feet of Sita and the Hero of Raghu's race.'
