सर्गः १
In which Rama laments for Sita amid spring flowers at Pampa and sets out with Lakshmana for Rishyamuka.
Rama reaches lotus-filled Pampa with Lakshmana — Rama praises flowering Pampa woods to Lakshmana — Spring breeze birds and blossoms inflame grieving Rama — Rama envies mating peacocks and calls spring unbearable without Sita — Rama reads crow cry as Sita messenger — Lotus buds recall Sita eyes and breeze recalls her sigh — Rama mourns deer with does while parted from doe-eyed Sita — Rama eyes fair Pampa and marches toward Rishyamuka
