सर्गः ३८
In which Sītā counts her blissful marks false over fallen Rāma, and Trijaṭā proves the brothers live and brings her home
Sītā laments slain husband and Lakṣmaṇa — Sītā calls fortune-tellers false — Sītā lists body marks now falsified — Sītā marvels divine weapons failed against māyā — Sītā grieves most for waiting mother-in-law — Trijaṭā bids Sītā trust husband lives — Trijaṭā cites steady army and unfaded faces — Sītā assents and returns to Aśōkavana
