सर्गः ३०
In which Ayōdhyā's people lament Rāma walking umbrella-less with Sītā, vow to follow him leaving empty houses to Kaikēyī, while Rāma seeks his father
Rāma with Sītā gives wealth and goes to see his father — Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa take wondrous garlanded bows — Citizens crown roofs and towers to gaze in grief — People lament Rāma on foot without umbrella and the army once following him — People praise truthful Rāma refusing falsehood for his father — People grieve sky-unseen Sītā now exposed on royal road — People blame possessed Daśaratha for exiling virtuous Rāma — People vow to follow him leaving gardens houses and city a forest for Kaikēyī — People declare the forest a city where Rāma goes — Rāma hears varied voices unmoved and seeks his father through Sumantra
