Rama searches Sita
Rama said “ Lakshmana go quickly and find out if Sita has gone to the Godavri to pluck Flowers, and come back “. Lakshmana went and there was no trace of her and “ Anna ! I have searched in all steps of boarding points. Despite calling loudly, no one answered. I could not also find out where she has gone. Hearing that Rama was perturbed “ Mother Godavari ! please tell where is Sita at present? All those materials were afraid of Ravana and did not tell him about the danger that befell Sita. They all looked at Godavari “ While Rama is in such anguish, it is improper not to inform what happened to Sita; we must tell Rama ”all of them insisted. Godavari thinking of Ravana’s gory behavior and his past was afraid of Ravana and kept quite. Rama was who was confident he will know the truth became disheartened “Lakshamana ! even this Godavari has not replied. How will I tell the terrible happenings to Sita’s parents? Having lost the kingdom and somehow living on materials we get from the Forest, Sita was the motivator urging me to get along with life here, she too has gone now. With none of relations, Friends, Wife around few seconds will be like a Yuga(Million years). Till I find Sita I will search Sita in Mandakini, Jhanasthana,Pirasravana and other places . These Animals are looking at me often and are trying to convey some information trying to show some indications.
Then looking at those Animals with tears welling in his eyes asked “Friends ! Did you see Sita?” asked Rama. Immediately they looked sywards and ran towards southerly directions, often looking back at Rama Lakshmana. Lakshmana with his intitutions seem to make out those indications looked at Rama ‘ Anna ! when you asked ‘Where is Sita?’ these Animals are getting up from the earth and looking skywards and running in South directions.. This indicates some one has abducted Sita and gone south in an aerial route. So let us go and search the south west directions where Rakshasaas live. At least we can find Sita; or a way will emanate to find her ‘’ said Lakshmana. Rama also agreed and they went down southwards.
While they were talking about her and going , seeing the flowers which had fallen scattered from Sita’s head, Rama with sorrow overwhelming ‘Lakshamana Did you notice? These are the very same Flowers which were affectionately plucked by me for Sita and were given to her by me. So we have a clue to go in search of her. Some how we will find her and we will not rest till then. Due to my Valour, Sun has ensured these Flowers do not wither;Wind also has not swept away and the Bhoomi Devi(Goddess Earth)has been preserving it. “ thus Rama got enthused.
Then looking at the Prasrvana Mountain which is adorned by the waterfalls “ Hey Great amongst Mountains! Did you see, my darling wife who is matchless in beauty?” His own words echoed back. Upon this Rama felt angered, as the mountain did not answer but made fun of him. Immmediately as the Lion looks at the tiny creature, blandly looking at the hill said “ Please bring the Golden statue like Sita soon or I will make you into dust” roared Rama. Due to echo it felt like it has seen Sita,due to it’s fear from Ravana it did not tell about Sita **( Ravana was so powerful that he kept in his throne all the Planets and even the Rain/ Summer will happen only at his behest.it is also said he kep all the panets in such positions whereby His Son Indrajith when he is born will be the most Valorous and can’t be beaten by anyone, but 2 planets positions were interchanged discreetly, which ensured Indrajith will have death by a person who has observed celibacy for 14 years continuously.). Seeing this Rama unable to subdue his anger said “ Hey Scoundrel ! I will burn you with my Arrows and turn you into Ashes. There will be no grass or plants can grow here, so that none will inhabit here. Lakshmana despite knowing which way Sita went has this River not informed ?Let it be so. If it does not inform , I will make the River parched without a single drop of Water. Look” thus with fiery eyes looked all around. He saw a Huge Foot Print and near by many small Foot Prints.
When Sita must have run scared towards the Ashrama , that Rakshasaa must have chased her, and she must have ran here and there to escape from him thus the foot prints indicate and nearby the Quivers,Chariot were strewn scattered all over. Seeing them Rama was worried “ Lakshmana ! Look at the small sheets of Gold from Sita’s Jewellery and garlands . On the earth there are blood spots scattered shining like Golden dust. So I presume many Rakshsaas have jointly slaughtered Sita into pieces and together must have shared and eaten her. For her sake 2 Rakshasaas have waged a pitched Battle. This Bow which is decorated by Gold and Siver is lying broken here; whose is this? With Daimond pieces scattered and shining like early morning Sun this golden Shield has been slit open ; whose is this? See these Mules which have faces like Ghosts but it’s body adorned with Golden armour are huge in size are lying dead here; who do they belong to ? See the Dazzling like Fire, this Chariot which has been decimated in to small pieces is seen here Look at it. Seeing the Flag on it’s staff it seems to be that this Chariot belongs to be that of an Army Chief. Look at these Huge Arrows akin to Chariot’s Axle,with their piercing Points blunted and also they are broken. Who is the person who shot them? The Quivers full of Arrows also is found slit open. Holding the whip and the reins still and lying dead, this Charioteer belongs to which King ? These 2 Rakshsaas with Head shield and globe like Ear Rings on their Earlobes still holding the Royal insignia of Hand Fans made of Quills are lying dead,. Who these two belong to ? The Foot wear with ankle part is not soft, so this must belong to a man only. Further it is skewd this must belong to a Rakshsaa only. The enmity between me and them have grown manifold millions of time. I will not leave them without uprooting them. Those cruel Rakshsaas must have taken Sita ; or might have killed her; or eaten her.
“ In this huge Forest those Rakshsaas While they were taking away Sita even the Dieties of Dharma haven’t they protected her? Even the Lok Palas ( Dieties who are responsible and guardians of their respective worlds) will not dare to do an act which is not to my liking! When that be so why have they not protected her? Lakshmana ! Do you know the reason? Even if one has the Power to create and destroy ,if he gives way to Compassion /mercy and is soft , all the Living beings without realizing his greatness , will ignore him. This is the nature of this world. For the sake of Hitham ( Palatable,Soothing counsel - in the interest/Good of You- well meant)of the world , I control my Indiyas
i am soft in nature; they consider me as Impotent, hapless chap thus they do Avamanam (Slur, shunn,Ridicule , Disgrace) me. Irakkam (Compassion, Mercy,Caring,forgiving,forgetting)is said to be the Noblest Virtuous trait. That has become a fallacy in me. Has it not happened the Celestials have ignored me and Sita has been taken away? What is the use of this Virtue? To destroy the Rakshsasaas I converted this Virtuous trait of Irakkam into an act of Dosh(Fallacy, deficiency, defect,flaw, offence, weakness, fault, imperfection, shortcoming, blame, catch, mistake, guilt, reflection, accused, culprit,delinquent, culpable,convice, blameworthy) Anger. Like Sun subdues the rays of the Moon and shines, I too will hide these Virtuos traits of Humility,Irakkam ie Compassion, Mercy I will emanate my Tejhas (whose effervescence is Dazzling in all directions with Limitless Aura). None in Devas(Celestials),Dhanav(Demon), Gandharva (Musicians), Pisacha (Ghosts), Uraga (Fortune telling angels)and Pannaga (Serpents clan), Yaksha (Spirits), Manushya (Humans) their entourages are going to Live Happily or in comfort. I will hide the sky with my Arrows and will ensure that the inhabitants in the 3 Worlds cannot traverse. I will make the Planets, Moon, Agni(Fire), Wind, Sun not to move, take their energies/Thejas and will destroy them. **(Even the mighty God who is the creator administrator & Destroyer of all these,worlds is not devoid of Human failings of Anger, Lust/desire, Affection/passion, Pride ,Jealousy ; when he is born as a Man/Woman) . I will explode the Hills. I will destroy the Rivers, Lakes and the oceans. Without any danger to Sita the Dik Palas( lords of 8 Directions) come and hand over Sita to me this very minute, if not they will know my PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might,Puissance, xploits,Valor, Heroism, Gallantry,Prowess,Ability,Valour) is of this nature. Will any single Living being fly in the Sky? I will kill all the Living beings **(there are 84 Lakhs-8.4 Millions Speices of which Man is only1 of them), uproot the Animals,will change the context or composition of the Materials, will make the galaxy Kadhara ( Pleading,Yelling, Bellowing,screaming loudly, Exasperation). I will make the Ghosts, Rakshsaas unavailable even as a sample for medicinal purpose. The Arrows which I shoot will can any one in Devas(Celestials), Dhanav(Demon), Gandharva (Musicians), Pisacha(Ghosts), Uraga (Fortune telling angels)and Pannaga(Serpents clan), Yaksha (Spirits), their entourages Stop them? I will guillotine them into pieces and make them all dead. If Sita has been Taken away or killed,if the Lokapalas(Gaurdians of Worlds) do not bring her now I will erase the worlds with no trace of them. If they do not return her as I left her, I will Vanquish all the worlds and make them Vanish with their Forms. “ thus with his face breathing Fire , with eyes coughing Flames of Fire, took the Kothanda(Bow) , and mounting the Divine Bhana(Arrow with Featehr) which was like Kala Dhandum (Bludgeon staff used to take Life away at the time of Death , indicating Life span is over) and Giant Serpent, Rama looked like the Kaala Agni(Fire at the end of time) during Deluge with raging passion “ Lakshmana ! Has any one heard these have been halted Old Age-Death- Time- Fate? Like wise may you know there is none to stop my Anger. The smile which Sita told me to fetch the Deer, with the same Smiling Sita should be returned to me or else I will destroy this universe. None will tell this is incorrect. Since Sita has not been born in a Human’s womb she is higher than me and more emancipated. Since she is the daughter of the great Warrior Janaka she is equal to me. When I am suffering losing her how does it matter what happens to whom? **(Even God when born as a Human does not remember his Previous Birth’s or original Porwess). (Slokas76)
