equally her sons the prudent Kausalyå (›r∂ Råmaís mother), who had a guileless
disposition, spoke as follows with great courage, ìYou have done well, my child, I swear;
a fatherís command is the most sacred of all obligations.î (1ó4)

ìThat having promised to bestow on you the kingdom of Ayodhyå your father has
now decided to exile you to the woods does not make me the least sorry. But your
absence from our midst will mean a terrible ordeal to Bharata, to the king himself and to
the people.î (55)

ìIn any case if it be your fatherís command alone, my boy, then go not, remembering
that a mother ranks higher than oneís father. If, on the other hand, both father and mother
have asked you to proceed to the woods then, of course, the forest will equal a hundred
cities like Ayodhyå, with the sylvan gods for your father, the sylvan goddesses for your
mother and the birds and beasts to wait upon your lotus feet. At all events it is but proper
for a king to dwell in a forest in the evening of his life; it is your tender age which fills my
heart with agony. How blessed is the forest and how luckless Ayodhyå, that will be
deserted by you, O crown of Raghuís line! If I ask you, my boy, to take me with you, your
mind will be filled with doubt. You are supremely dear to all, my child; you are the life of our
life, the vitality of our soul. As such you say, ìMother, I go to the forest!î while I remain
rooted to my seat even on hearing these words and repent. (1ó4)
