When Ram saw Lakshman coming alone he reprimands Lakshmana for coming without Seeta. Lakshmana explains that he had to leave her owing to Seeta's anguished and angrily words and even by her rash remarks of Lakshmana. Even then, Ram is unhappy of Lakshmana's action in leaving her alone. He says he is not happy with Lakshman. Ram said, "By whom I am detoured from hermitage in the form of a deer he is indeed a demon, and he fell flat when my arrow hit him down. When I effortlessly shot an arrow setting on bowstring and stretching the bow to full length, he hit by that arrow left deer's body to become a piteously bewailing demon wearing bracelets and the like ornaments. Then hit down by arrow thus, he with an anguished voice that is clearly audible at a very remotely place and that which is mimicking my voice, uttered those highly gruesome words, whereby you have come here forsaking Maithili."
While Ram is coming towards hermitage his lower eyelid frequently fluttered, his gait faltered, and he missed his footing. On closely watching those inauspicious forebodings Ram uttered oftentimes 'would she be safe, in fact!' He quickened himself and went with an ardency to see Seeta, and then on seeing an empty home his heart got distressed. Ram looked like a flying-flutterer as his speed jostled his arms and gait flutteringly, and on closely probing there and there, and all-over the places of that cottage, then he saw the lustreless house of straw devoid of Seeta. He feared 'Seetha might be stolen by the grudging demons, or slain by the very same grisly demons, or savoured by some gruesome beasts, or else she strayed in this gauntly forest, and even she might have playfully shrouded herself in the grimly forest, or else she must be sheltering herself in this forest which will be gruelling to locate. Or else, she might have again gone to pick the flowers or fruits, or again gone to lotus-lake, or gone to the river for water." Thinking thus, Rama started his search for Seetha. Though he searched effortfully for his dear Seeta he did not get her, and as his anguish is reddening his eyes the appearance of that glorious one seems to be that of a madman. Ram ran speedily from tree to shrub, from hill to hillock, from river to rivulet, and revolving around them he wailed for Seeta, as he is inundated in a sludgy ocean of woes. He starts asking even trees n flower it they have seen where is Seeta. When he was aksing thus he appeared like a madman. He even asked animals.
He thought that Seeta must have hided herself somewhere. He says, 'Oh lotus-eyed lady, in fact I have seen you my dear, then why this running away and concealing yourself under trees, why do not you reply me... Say...say... oh, best lady, don't you have mercy on me? You are not unacceptably tease-humoured! What for you ignore me? Oh, beautifully complexioned lady, even if you are running away your yellowy silk-sari betokens you, stay, if you have kindness for me... He starts recollecting her.
'Ha, Lakshmana... have you seen my ladylove anywhere... ha, dear, where have you gone... oh, auspicious lady... ha, Seeta..." thus Ram lamented again and again in his search.
On bewailing in this way and on overly rushing from wood to wood, somewhere Rama has become highly delusional by the forcefulness of delusion and spots forest stuff as Seeta, though none of them have any resemblance to Seeta, and somewhere else, marking creepers, plants or slender shrubs and suchlike delicacies as Seeth he has become really alluded by the powerfulness of allusion, and elsewhere, he is not discriminating paths or pathless routes for his trekking as an impassioned one in the search of his ladylove, and thus he is nitid like a madman. Ram is on the rove around woods, rivers, hills, mountain-rapids and thicketed forests, speedily and restlessly. On going round the vast of great forest in that way and on searching for Maithili, his hope became intangible, but again he undertook the search for his ladylove, over-strenuously.
Ram shrieked loudly, and then on clasping the winning shoulders of Lakshmana he said this to him. "Oh, Lakshmana, possibly where can be Vaidehi? Or, to which place she has gone from here? Or, Soumitra, who stole her away? Or, who has gorged up my ladylove? "Oh, Seeta, if you have concealed yourself under trees wishing to poke fun at me, enough is your fun and games, get in touch with me now, as I am highly anguished.. Oh, gentle Seeta, with which meekly young deer you were playing, all these are now broody with tearfully fluttery looks, without you....'
Rama laments for Seeta and becomes downhearted. But at the advice of Lakshmana both of them start a search for Seeta, presuming that she might be available in the proximity. Later they embark on a thorough search in the entire forest and its mountains and at lakesides, but Seeta is unseen. Lakshaman pacifies him like an elder brother.
He guesses that Seeta must have been abducted by any powerful demon or God. He says,"Oh, Lakshmana, very evidently demons have either gorged up Seeta, or perhaps abducted her, because she is not returning to me who am whiny indeed for her'. Hence, Lakshmana, you go back to that auspicious city Ayodhya forsaking me in forests, because I have no existence without Seeta.' He says what answer he'll give to his parents n Seeta's parents n people of Ayodhya.
Ram laments while searching for Seeta and reminiscing over his past, which was spent happily with Seeta. Rama and Lakshmana search for her at riversides of Godavari but she is unseen there. He says, "I am deprived of the kingdom, departed from my own people, mainly Seeta, my father departed and I am detached from my mother, and Lakshmana, when all these setbacks are very deeply thought over they are replenishing the haste of my agony... All this sadness of mine has silenced physically and there is some peace on coming to these desolate forests, in association of Seeta, but with the dissociation of Seeta misery is again upshot, as with fire which flares up in a flash when fuel is added... My noblewoman might be abducted by a demon, and on reaching the sky that lady who converses with a sweet voice might have wept a lot fearfully, and it is definite that she must have shouted a lot,.." he fears that she might be drowned in Godavari or lost in forests while plucking flowers.
Though Lakshmana continuously encourages Rama for a thorough search without submitting to mere anguish, Rama sinks into his own anguish.
Rama finds Seeta's flowers and footprints, followed by heavy footprints of some male massive demon. He says "I recognise these flowers that are fallen here, oh, Lakshmana. In forest I gave them to Vaidehi and she tucked these very flowers in her bun. These flowers are carefully safeguarded by the sun, as they are unwithered yet, by air as they are unswept by it, and by the glorious earth, as they are unspoilt by that, thus I deem that these naturals, sun, air, and earth are really proffering a helping hand to me.' Then he finds some more signs. Concluding that Seeta is definitely abducted by a massive demon, Ram wants to countermove the universe, even by waging a war with gods. He says, "The highly stony-hearted demons that are guise-changers by their wish have either abducted, or killed or gluttonised saintly Seeta... but, they say that rectitude saves such saintly persons... yet that rectitude has not saved Seeta while she is being abducted in great forest... Whether Vaidehi is taken away or taken in by some unknown being, oh, gentle Lakshmana, then who are the gods who can possibly be benignant to me in this world... Lakshmana, someone, even if He were a Creator of Worlds, or an Omnipotent, if He were to be lenient at heart or in His actions, He will be disrespected by all beings, owing to the unenlightenment of those beings... Oh, Lakshmana, will the yaksha-s be comfortable now, no; gandharva-s - no; monsters - no; demons - no; either kinnaraa-s or humans - no, none can be comfortable henceforth... Now the welkin will be packed with my arrows and missiles, and I will render it as an impassable sphere for the treaders in the triad of worlds... I will make the triad of worlds quiescent by completely blockading all the planetary bodies. The night-maker moon will be barricaded, aurae of fire, air and sun will be devastated, and then everything will be overcast with darkness. Mountaintops will be completely pulverised, water receptacles will be dried out, and trees, creeping-plants and shrubberies will be destroyed, and oceans depleted, thus I will bring the triad of the worlds to nought, relative to the task of Time in extinguishing an era..."If the gods are not going to safely restore Seetha to me, oh, Soumitri, they can see what my blitzkrieg is, at this very moment... All beings cannot fly high in the sky, oh, Lakshmana, as there will be a labyrinth of my arrows released from my bowstring, minus an intercolumniation... "Bombarded with my iron-shafts this world will be put to disorderliness, Lakshmana, you may now witness how the animals and birds will be dazed and devastated... "Because of Maithili I will render this mortal world de-demonical, de-phantasmal by force-stretching my unstoppable arrows up to my ears to release them forcefully"Let the gods witness now the impact of the blaze-crested, thoroughgoing arrows of mine, projected by my wrath and released by my irascibility... That being so, when the triad of worlds is completely ruined by my anger will there be gods, no; demons - no; phantoms - no, none can survive...Whatever worlds of gods, or monsters, or even those of demons are there, they will be splintered and falling down apiece by the fusillades of my arrows
"Whether she is abducted, or even if she is killed, oh, Soumitri, if the gods are not going to give back my Seetha I will now jeopardise these worlds with my arrows'."If my ladylove is not returned indeed in a fine fettle as she was before my running after Golden Deer, I will be annihilating the triad of world in its entirety, together with its mobile and sessile beings, and I will be sweltering the entire universe with my arrows as long as I am not going to get a glimpse of her." Thus Rama gave a vent to his feelings.
Rama on saying thus with his eyes reddening in fury, his lappet-fold of lips jerking spasmodically,
When the disposition of that venturesome and infuriated Rama has become in that way holocaustic, it is like that of Rudra, the All-Inflamer god, when He became like this in earlier times, intending to inflame the Triple-Cities(Tripura). On saying so that illustrious Rama, the delighter of world, grabbed his bow from Lakshmana and gripped it tightly, unholstered a deadly and dazzling arrow from his quiver which is like a poisonous serpent, and readying it on the bowstring of his bow, that Ram, the vanquisher of enemies fastnesses, who looked like the Ear-End-Fire, spoke this sentence ''"As to how all the created beings cannot counteract the ageing, dying, fate and the Time at anytime, likewise I too am non-countervailed, when I am coalesced with fury, no doubt about it.."If that princess of Mithila, who has suavely and toothy smiles and who causes irreproachability to my character if only I can have a glimpse of her, is not returned to me in fine fettle as she was when she was with me, then I will countermove whole of this universe together with its gods, immortals, humans, florae and faunas, mountains and waters... and whatnot'
