Lk47. Rama Feels For Sita's Departure Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

LAVA KUSA (UTTARAKANDA)

"When Sita went to netherworld,
Rama was deeply distressed.
Across the ocean, once she was taken,
And I brought her back then."

"What to say of from the Earth?
Oh venerable goddess of Earth,
Return to me Sita, or else,
In my favour, grant me a space."

"Otherwise, I shall show
My anger and you know
I can destroy the earth
Entirely now forthwith."

"I've gone so mad for her,
And if you don't return her,
I'll flood the earth with water,
You release her soon, better."

Rama's outburst was like this,
O'er Sita's sudden disappearance,
Which was unexpected by anyone,
While she was glorified by everyone.

Seeing the plight of Rama,
There appeared Lord Brahma,
Who said, "Oh destroyer of foes,
Grieve not o'er these things."

"You're the incarnation of Vishnu,
And this I need not remind you.
Sita has gone to the netherworld,
As to her husband, she totally surrendered."

"Valmiki had written Ramayana,
That's dedicated to you, Oh Rama!
All the sorrows and happiness
From your birth, well, it covers! "

Saying this, Brahma disappeared.
His holy words, Rama heard,
Who took his sons to the palace,
To be recognized as his princes.

After reaching the City Ayodhya,
He heard again Lava and Kusa,
Singing songs on Uttarakanda,
And got mentally disturbed.
