Entered in to a fatal swoon ,
She made others to call Rama ,
And told him that king wanted him to go to the forest ,
And also gave his crown to BHaratha,
And without any botheration the black coloured one ,
Told that he is agreeable to it and saluted his mother and went away.
And when due to very great anger, when Lakshmana took the bow,
He calmed his younger brother Lakshmana,
And then with Janaki and his younger brother following him like a shadow,
When Rama was going away wearing a dress of wooden hide ,
The people of the county were upset and shed tears.

That great one went away seeking the forest.
