Then Dharmathma Rama bent his bow strung it,got ready the Bhanas which were dazzling like the Sun, and got ready to leave for Kishkinda. Lakshmana and Sugreeva went in front of him.Anjhaneya, Nala, Neela, Dharana came behind.On their way they saw the Trees bent with the weight of their Branches ,Flowers and Fruits, rivers with crystal clear water, caves, Hills with crevice, holes, special Mountain Peaks, Leaves which were shining like Vaidooriyum(Lapiz Lazuli Diamond), Lakes with just blossomed Lotus, Birds such as Chakravaaha, Royal Swans, Flower Swans and other Storks were dancing in delirium here and there. Herds of Deers were grazing the tender grass moving about freely. Elephants which were stirring the Ponds, with White Ivory tusks,an Elephant was roaming alone and also some of the Elephants were damaging the banks of the River, some other Elephants looked like the Dark clouds coming down from the Moutains water falls , with it’s water coming from it’s ears indicating their roguish nature(Madha Jhalam). With marshy sand smeared all over it’s body were hitting the water fall front and they were also some more Unique Animals on their way.
In one place Rama saw a thick grove and “ Did you see this Thick Gorve which is as though in the sky? Surrounded by Banana trees how beautiful it is? What is the specaility of this place? “ asked Rama. While walking Sugreeva spoke “ Lord ! this is a Holy Hermittage. You get in abundance Flowers, Roots,Fruits here. Here 7 Rishis(hermits) known as Sapthajhanas Lived. They ate Air once in 7 days and stood upside down in water for 700 years did penance went to the Heaven with mortal body.Due to their Maginificnese even Devas(Celestials ) dare not enter there. The Birds, Animals keep a distance from the Ashram.If some one carelessly goes into the Grove, he will not be seen again.Here you get to hear beautiful Music, Dance, from Instruments here.Fragrance emanates. Homa Fire(Agni) shines here..The smoke emanating from them will be red like the pigeon’s body and will settle in the trees tips.These Trees looks like the Clouds covering the Mountains of shining Vaidooriyum(Lapiz Lazuli Diamond). “ Lord! You and Lakshmana controlling your senses please pay respects to those Rishis(Sages) thinking of them with Devotion.You will not get any Discomfort in your body.
Rama Lakshmana accordingly prayed , from there they went far away alongwith Sugreeva.Finally they came near Kishkinda whih was protected by Valli. They decided to kill Valli duly armed were waiting there. (Slokas 30)
