Kaushalya - Champa, where is Sita? Even Ram is not seen. Where could he have gone so early in the morning?
Sumitra (to Dasis) - Can anybody tell me where is Laxman?
Likewise Kaikeyi is also angry with dasis.
Kaikeyi - Is there any discipline in this palace? Do you all keep your eyes closed? Where is Bharat?
One dasi comes and informs that Mandavi and others are in temple.
In the temple, Urmila and Shrutkirti are talking. Ksikeyi comes there with dasis.
Kaikeyi - What happened? It looks like both of you are here since last night.
Sumitra comes and asks Urmila about Sita. Urmila and Mandavi do not speak anything, but cry. Bharat and Shatrughan come there.
Bharat - Ma, Sita bhabhi has left us.
Kaikeyi - Tell truly, where is my Sita?
Shatrughan - Vanvas
Kaikeyi - Who ordered her for vanvas?
Bharat - Ram bhaiya.
Yesterday it was shown that it was Sita's decision. Then why did Bharat take Ram's name?
Kaikeyi - That cannot be true. Ram is the king of Ayodhya. But when it comes to family matters, he cannot make decisions without consulting the family members.
Kaushalya meets Ram. She is still not aware of what has happened.
Kaushalya - Maharaj is jai ho. What is the matter, Ram? You forgot to take your mother's blessings today.
Ram - How can anybody forget mother's blessings?
Kaushalya - If you forget me for the sake of fulfilling your duty, then I will be glad. Today I am reminded of your father king Dashrath.He also used to forget everything for the sake of subjects. You are king of the same great dynasty.
Kasushalya gives Ram prasad of puja and blesses him. She comes out with Ram. They meet Kaikeyi, Sumitra, Bharat, Shatrughan, Urmila and Shrutkirti. Kaushalya is shocked to see that they all are so sad.
Sumitra - Didi, Sita
Sumitra is not able to utter another word.
Kaikeyi - Ayodhya-naresh Sri Ram, may I ask you what mistake did my bahu Sita commit that she has been punished?
Kaushalya - Kaikeyi, what punishment are you talking about?
Kaikeyi - Ask this to king Ram.
Kaushalya - Ram, tell me about Sita. What has happened to her?
Ram is stone-faced.
Ram - Vanvas. Ma, Sita decided upon vanvas. And she has left for the forest.
Kaushalya faints. After some time, she opens her eyes. She feels that it was all a dream.
Kaikeyi - Didi, it is not a dream. It is true. In the night itself, Sita left for the forest.
Kaushalya (to dasis) - Tell Arya Sumant that Rajmata Kaushalya has called him.
Sumant comes there.
Kaushalya - Arya Sumant, search for Sita everywhere and bring her back to Ayodhya with full honour.
Sumant looks at Ram, who is quiet.
Kaushalya - Why are you looking that way? I am the rajmata of Ayodhya. I am giving the order.
Sumant - As you wish.
Kaushalya prays to Lord Vishnu.
Kaushalya - God, I cannot tolerate any further. I cannot let Sita be on vanvas. She has already suffered so much. How much more will you make her suffer? Will all problems of the world befall on Ayodhya? Can't you see Ayodhya's royal family as happy?
Very strong wind is blowing. Sita is finding it difficult to walk. In Ayodhya, Ram is crying. The background song plays:-
O vidhna teri chaal samajh nahi aaye
O vidhna teri chal samajh nahi aaye
Tu jisko jab jaise chahe
Tu jisko jaise jab chahe, vaise naach nachaye
O vidhna teri chaal samajh nahi aaye
O vidhna teri chaal samajh nahi aaye
O vidhna teri chal samajh nahi aaye
Vaidehi ke jivan mein ye kaisi karm-ghadi hai
Tyag rajsi vastra Siya, dharta path-vesh khadi hai
Sita ke liye pati ki pratishtha sukha se adhik badi hai
Maryada ki bedi Raja Ram ke paaw padi hai
Raja Siya ko van bheje, aur aansu Ram bahaye
O vidhna teri chaal samajh nahi aaye
O vidhna teri chaal samajh nahi aaye
While walking, Sita gets injured in her feet because of walking bare-foot. She faints.
Precap - Hanuman requests Ram that he (Hanuman) be given the permission to search for and bring back Sita Ma.
Do not know why but looks like some problem in picturisation somewhere because the sad feelings over Sita's vanvas are not as evident as in the case of the first vanvas (when Ram, Sita and Laxman went to the forest).
Note: Starting tomorrow, Ramayan will be telecast on Fridays too. Any volunteer for updates?
