In which woman-formed Ilā sports through forest to Budha lake, stirs its waters, and Budha settles her followers as Kiṃpuruṣīs
Lakṣmaṇa and Bharata marvel and ask Ilā fate — Rāma resumes tale at curious brothers bidding — Woman Ilā roams forest woods with female retinue — Ilā abandons vehicles and sports in mountain hollow — Ilā finds Budha blazing in lake waters — Ilā churns whole lake with former male followers — Love-struck Budha emerges and questions four women — Women call Ilā their masterless mistress roaming woods — Budha divines Ilā truth and settles followers as Kiṃpuruṣīs
