Description
From a distance all bowed their head to her and in response to her enquiry told her all about themselves. She then said, "Go and drink water and partake of beautiful and luscious fruits of various kinds." They bathed and took some delicious fruits and all came once more to her. She related to them her own story from the beginning to the end and added, "I will now go and see the Lord of Raghus. Close your eyes and you will find yourself outside the cavern. You shall find Sita; you need not feel remorse." The champions closed their eyes and looking again they found themselves standing on the sea-shore. She on her part went to the Lord of Raghus and drawing near to Him bowed her head at His lotus feet. She made supplication in diverse ways and the Lord granted to her unceasing Devotion.
