“Thathra Sriyamivaachinthyaam Ramo
Daasaharathihi Priyaam
Eeshathsamlajjamaanam Tham
Ayodhyaaropayatha Plavam.”
“ Sahadharmachari thava”--- Valmiki quotes
the greatness of Sita Devi. Sita Devi
follows whatever dharma Sri Rama shows to the world. A chaste woman shares her
husband’s happiness as well as sorrow. She never leaves her husband whatsoever.
Sita says “ I shall follow the footsteps of that Savithri who brought back her
husband from the hands of Yama. Iam your devotee and a chaste woman. I know not
anything else other than Yourself. Thus saying she happily leaves to the
forest. Sri Rama takes care of her in such a way that she does not feel even an
inch of melancholy in the forest. He is to Sita not only a dear husband but a
dear friend, a revered Guru, a philosopher, a father and the best guide.
Sri Rama
crosses the Ganges and comes to the bank
of river Yamuna. He crossed the Ganges
with the help of Guha who brought his boat. The river is in spate. It looks
beautiful. Lakshmanaswamy builds a beautiful boat. He decorated it with many
colours. As soon as Sri Rama saw this he was really surprised. “ Lakshmana , I
don’t remember us learning to build boats at the ashram of vasishta. Where from
did you learn this? It looks really beautiful, saying so He climbed on to the
boat.” Sit down Sita” , he said. She touched the boat. The boat shook in the waters..
Devi feared. Sri Rama could have helped her climb onto the boat. However he
hesitated because of lakshamana. Lakshmana understood it perfectly. He turned
his head, as if looking at the opoosite bank. Rama atonce jumped down from the
boat, lifted Sita and helped her sit on the boat. Lakshmana rowed the boat. The one who felt
the happiest at that moment was Lakshmanaswamy.
