Baal Kaanda
46 - Worship of Goddess Parvati by Sita, Her receiving blessing from the Goddess and a dialogue between Rama and Laksmana
Chaupais
Description
Inwardly praising Sita's beauty, the two brothers returned to their Guru (Visvamitra). Sri Rama related everything to Kausika; for He was innocent of heart and free from all guile. Having got the flowers the sage performed his devotions and then blessed the two brothers, saying, "May your heart's desire be accomplished." Rama and Laksmana were glad to hear the benediction. After finishing his meals the great and illumined hermit, Visvamitra, began to recite old legends. The day was thus spent; and obtaining the Guru's permission the two brothers proceeded to say their evening prayers. In the meantime the charming moon rose in the eastern horizon; perceiving that her orb resembled Sita's face Sri Rama felt happy. The Lord then reasoned within Himself. The queen of night bears no resemblance to Sita.
