saciva nåri gura nåri sayån∂, sahita saneha kahahiÚ mædu bån∂.
tumha kahu° tau na d∂nha banabåsµu, karahu jo kahahiÚ sasura gura såsµu.4.
The king sincerely tried every means to detain ›r∂ Råma. But he discovered ›r∂
Råmaís intention and came to know that He was not going to stay, a champion of
righteousness, strong-minded and foresighted as He was. The king thereupon clasped
S∂tå to his bosom and most lovingly admonished Her in many ways. He described the
terrible hardships of forest life and explained to Her the comforts She would enjoy if She
chose to stay with Her husbandís parents or Her own father. S∂tåís mind, however, was
attached to ›r∂ Råmaís feet; hence neither home seemed attractive to Her nor the forest
repulsive. Everyone else too expostulated with S∂tå dwelling on the many miseries of the
forest. The ministerís (Sumantraís) wife as well as the preceptorís (Vasi¢haís) and other
prudent ladies fondly urged Her in gentle tones: ìNobody has exiled you to the forest:
therefore, do as your husbandís parents and preceptor bid you.î (1ó4)

This advice, soothing, friendly, agreeable and tender as it was, did not sound
pleasing to S∂tåís ears. It seemed as if the touch of the rays of the autumnal moon had
made a female Cakravåka bird restless. (78)

S∂tå was too modest to give any reply. But Kaikey∂ flared up on hearing their talk.
She brought hermits robes, ornaments and vessels and, placing them before ›r∂ Råma,
addressed Him in soft accents, ìYou are dear as life to the king, O Hero of Raghuís line;
he is too soft to shake off his scruple and attachment for you. He would sooner forfeit
