सर्गः ५४
In which trembling Kausalyā begs for Daṇḍaka while Sumantra pictures fearless Sītā at home in forest, yet she wails still
Trembling Kausalyā begs ride to Daṇḍaka — Kausalyā threatens death without exiles — Sumantra bids her abandon grief — Lakṣmaṇa wins heaven serving Rāma feet — Fearless Sītā feels at home in forest — Sītā enjoys road villages rivers trees — Heat dims not moonlike Sītā splendor — Clinging Rāma arms Sītā fears no beasts — Exiles guard father promise on sage path — Kausalyā wails still despite consolation
