Lk35. Sita Is Sent To Forest

LAVA KUSA (UTTARAKANDA) Rama spoke to his brothers, "Listen to me, my brothers, About Sita what've citizens said, You may not have heard." "I shall narrate the same The opinion among them, This is more significant, And is eating my heart." "I'm born in great Ikswakus. She's from famous Janakas. From the lonely forest Sita Was abducted by Ravana." "How I killed Ravana And brought back Sita? What a struggle it was? You're aware of this." "She also underwent The severe fire test To prove her nobility And also her purity." "In the Gods' presence, She proved her innocence, And my inner conscience Says, she's blameless." "People censure me how I brought Sita back now? This news pains my heart. As innocent she's on her part." "As a King, I should respect The feelings of our subjects, As infamy once spreads widely Even gods won't remain calmly." "Oh Brothers, listen to me, Don't try to pacify me. When I've taken a decision, I don't expect any opposition." "Oh Lakshmana, this's my order. Take Sita beyond Ganga River, Near Valmiki's cottage leave her. So that she can stay there."
