Rama Lakshmana reach Shores of Pambha
After Shabhari reached Vaikuntam on her own greatness Rama Lakshmana were reminiscenting those Great Soul’s achievments and stayed in the Ashrama for some more time. Lakshmana who is only devoted to serving him all along; Rama said “ Child! Today we were fortunate to see this Holy Hermittage and the Ashchariyam –Awesome , Unbelievable facts there in. The Deers, Tigers, Birds coexist happily without disturbing one another. We took bath in these 7 Oceans and did Tharpanam(Libations for our Forefathers) as per proceedure. All the evils which were encompassing us have been decimated. Iam now happy that Good Fortune has begun for us. Very shortly we will have Mangalam ( Auspicious well being , accrue happier moments, shower inbrighter times ahead ). Start, let us go to Pambha. See there the Rishya mukha Mountain. There Sun’s son Sugreeva being afraid of Vaali is staying here with 4 of the Great Monkey Clan. Iam eagerly looking forward to seeing the Dharmathma (Epitome of Righteousness/ Virtuous Soul). The matter of searching and find out Sita is dependent on him’ said Rama. Thus Rama forgetting his anguish , got emboldened and seeing this Laskhmana got enthused and said “ Let us hurry up. Even iam eager to meet him”.
Then they started from that Ashrama , took bath in the River Mathanga saras on the way, through countryside pathway reached shores of Pambha Lake. That was surrounded on all 4sides with Trees , Creepers. In some locations it was red due to Lotus and Red Senkazhuneers water Lilys. Due to Aambals the waterfront was white in some places. In some places it was blackish due the Dark hued Neidhal fowers. It looked like Carpet made of huge variety of colours **(Like the Colour Fall in USA in October before Winter) from a distance. The surrounding Forest had Trees like Mango, Banyan,Palmgranate, Thavam , Marudai, Anisura Punnai, Jasmine, Kurukathi, Banyan, Nochil, Ashoka, Ezhil paali, Thazha(creamcolour leaf), Thinisi, Forest wild trees , Creepers and Plants, Flowers were adorning those creepers they looked like dazzling damsels adorned with exquisite dresses. Beautiful Birds like Wood peckers, Peacocks, Sparrows, Parrots and very many others were chirping away to glory. Seeing the Uniquness and novelty they reached the shores of that Pambha lake.
Pristine pure water with lilting soft powdered sand and the Birds happily chirping and Blossoming Flowers emanating spell binding fragrance. Trees with Fruits and Flowers and the Bees having sucked Honey from them, were in dizzy state and whining away to glory ; seeing all this Rama was reminded of Sita often. Then he spoke to Lakshmana “ Child ! Like Khabhanda said this Rishya mukha Mountain is full of Flowers and fruits and is dazzling with Minerals such as Gold and Silver. We heard that Sugreeva the great Soul son of Risha rajhas is living here didn’t we hear so? Hence you go to him”. Again he called “ Lakshmana having lost my Kingdom, I had forgotten all the travails due to my excessive Love for Sita, Now how would I Live without Her? “ thus moaning he got down in the Lake to take bath.
Thus Rama and Lakshamana had crossed many a Mountains, Rivers, Deserts, Barren Lands, having under gone many a trouble Finally saw the Pambha Lake filled with different types of Trees, Animals, Birds. (Slokas 30)
