I too have not read the actual text, but in the translation given on the internet, it says that after the Rajyabhishek, that night for the first time in 14 yrs Lakshman slept in the arms of his beloved Urmila. So I guess Valmiki did not forget Urmila, but not much importance is given to the three sisters UMS.

Thanks Deepa. I never knew Valmiki mentioned Urmila after the exile. The book I read did not mention Lakshman meeting Urmila before going along with Ram for the exile but just hinted that he bade farewell to his mother and wife.

I just saw the episode. It was quite good actually.

The scene between Maharaj Vibhishan and Lord Ram was beautiful.

It was cute to see the scene in which Sita heard what Ram was thinking.

Vikram ji's acting deserves a standing ovation again. He was excellent with his emotions in the last episode.

I think Vibhishan was angry because it was he who gave the ornament to Lord Ram and Devi Sita and Hanuman discarded it but as far as I remember Vibhishan was not of that type. And I don't remember reading that Vibhishan presenting it to Ram and Sita. I wondered if Sita Devi would have given away something that had been gifted to them. I thought keeping it would have been 🤔🤔🤔 . . .

Vibhishan was always portrayed to be a saintly person. Maharishi Valmiki himself mentions it several times. I do not think he would have challenged Hanuman like that but as per the legends and version that have this story, he was the one who asks Hanuman (gently, that too) if his own body has an image of Lord Ram.

Anyway, different people show their devotion in different ways - I think they are portraying Hanuman an innocent, childish devotee who shows his own devotion in his own way.

Each and everyone in the court was genuinely surprised and bowed down to Hanuman - this scene was good too. I think the three queen mothers bowed down to the devotion Hanuman had for Ram - that definitely will command respect from anyone even from the Trinity.

Ram embracing Hanuman was cute.

Excellent introduction to Sage Valmiki. Loved the Pranav Manthra reverbrating around and the song that was played in the background a lot. I too hope that there will be more family scenes and sages telling Ram about Ravan and Vali.

Probably Mandavi also shares the same guilt as Bharat that it was on his pretext that Ram had to go on exile.

But still, as you say, atleast after RLS returned, she could have said something...

And I remember from BRC Ramayan which showed that Mandavi was well versed in Singing and Urmila in painting, and that Shrutkirti enjoyed the compnay of learned people. Any idea of the sources for these?

That reminds me... They never showed Ravan's talent as a Singer and Veena player, did they?

Mandvi and Bharat were living apart. But they could have shown her with Kaikeyi atleast. I would have got a chance to see two of my fav (artists) 😉 Both of them are so cute.

I have heard that Urmila was very good in painting but nothing about the others.

They did not show Ravan's talent as a great Veena player, but they did show he was good at singing and composing hymns - a part of the Shiva Tandava Stotra was telecast.

Yes, Valmiki Ramayan says that Urmila spent the 14 years of Ram, Sita, Lakshman exile painting a scene from Sita Ram Kalyan.

In the Telugu Sita Rama Kalyanam Movie, there is a sweet scene between Ravan and Mandodari where Ravan plays the Veena to her and sings. It is a very beautiful song, and Mandodari (played by Saroja Devi) is gorgeous and NTR as Ravan is perfect.

Vibs - You were meaning Bharat & Mandavi looking cute, Not Kaikeyi right? 😉

Yes, I remember them showing the Shiv Tandava Stotra composition. And they did not even show his Veena flag...😔 (It is one of Ravan's identity...)

Where does it say in Valmiki Ramayan that Urmila spent her exile days painting? Can you mention the Kand and Sarga?

I read in one version that on hearing the news about Shri Ram's coronation, she started painting Shri Rama Pattabhishekam scene. Lakshman is furious on hearing about the exile, and comes Urmila's room with such fury that Urmila is scared and spills water or paint over her painting and it is spoiled. Don't remember which version. (I think Urmila Devi Nidraa - the Telugu composition)

The NTR-SarojaDevi song was very nice. Thnx! But seeing NTR as Ravan took me some time to register. We are so used to seeing him as Krishna & Rama.😊

Yes Urmila's 14 yr sleep is mentioned in Telugu Ramayana and Urmila being a painter is a folk rendition; Paula richman (an anthropologist who has made a lot of research,on Ramayan) talks very highly about Urmila saying that she studied all scriptures during R-L-S's exile and she was the one who questioned Rama and argued(in vain) about Sita being banished unjustly.
