"No," said Shanta, "Your four sisters made my brothers fall in love with them. You are skilled at such things, so we need to ward off the evil eye from harming your lovely faces." 😆Now Sita said in return, "You made my brother Rishyasringa fall for your charms and games. He was a totally innocent man performing his austerities in the forest." 😆😆shanta quickly retorted, "You were the goddess of wealth born on the lotus in heaven but you didn't want to stay there and came to live in our house. We are lucky you are here." "We are lucky you are here, too." Sita said to Shanta. Sumitra made a bed of down for her son who had returned from the forest. She made soft silk pillows and sprinkled rose water on them. A maid set up fans made of cool vatti straw, sandal paste and musk, punugu and javvadi in cups. There were betel leaves, areca nuts and pearl-lime as well😊. As the breeze gently blew over the sweet champak flowers they closed the doors of the bedroom. As the breeze from the jasmine bushes blew in through the window, the couple sat on their bed. Lakshmana loosened Urmila's hair, which was tightly made into a bun and skillfully braided it, and put jaji flowers in it.😳 Chewing the betel leaves, the couple sat talking to each other. "How did that happen?" asked Urmila. "How was my sister taken away? When you were there, stronger than a lion, how was my sister taken away?" Kaushalya, Sumitra, and Kaika sat on raised seats. Shanta was with them too, and they didn't make a sound. "When Rama and you were there, how was my sister taken away?" "Fate is impossible to avoid, even for the creator god.😔 We left Ayodhya and lived in the forest in a hut of leaves we built. A golden magic deer came near the doorstep of our hut. Your sister wanted that deer and begged Rama to bring it to her. Rama went with his bow and arrows and went out to hunt the deer. He hit the animal with his bow when it made a strange cry. It cried, Haa Sita, haa, Lakshmana!' Sita was frightened and said: Go to help Rama.' And I said Mother, I should not go.' She spoke words sharp as arrows that pierced my ears and hurt me. 😭I drew a line around her, a command that none should cross it. I left to help my brother. Then Ravana came in disguise and stood in front of the hut calling out god's name. Thinking he was a servant of god, Sita came out to give him food. She saw his ten heads, and fell down unconscious. Ravana took her away, lifting her with the earth on which she stood. 😡When Rama returned to the hut holding the golden deer we searched for her all over, in the forest and the entire hut, but didn't find a trace of her and we became very tired. We went over to Kishkindha, and Sugriva gave gifts to Rama. Because he was Kaushalya's son, he had such respect for him.
