Description
In Sri Rama's company Sita lived a happy life, forgetting Her town (Ayodhya), family and home. Ever watching the moonlike face of Her beloved lord She was extremely glad like the young of a Cakora bird. Finding Her lord's affection grow from day to day She remained happy as a Cakravaka bird during the day. Her mind was so enamoured of Sri Rama's feet that the forest appeared to Her as dear as a thousand Ayodhyas. Dear was the hut of leaves in the company of Her most beloved lord, while fawns and birds constituted Her beloved family. The holy hermits appeared to Her as Her own father-in-law and their spouses as Her mother-in-law; while Her diet consisting of bulbs, roots and fruits tasted like ambrosia. Shared with Her spouse even the lovely litter of leaves delighted Her as hundreds of Cupid's own beds. Can the charm of sensuous enjoyments ever enchant Her whose very look confers the sovereignty of a sphere.
