THE END

So, after a bath and bedecked with jewels and seated in a palanquin, Seeta went to the camp.

When he heard that Seeta was coming, Raama woke up from his meditation. Events of the past rose like waves and battering against his mind threw it into a wild commotion of shame, grief and joy.

As Seeta's palanquin was taken through the great concourse of Vaanaras, they thronged round the princess and caused confusion. It was made worse by the Vaanara leaders trying to push them aside and make way for the palanquin.

"Let no one be kept away," said Raama. "These dear Vaanaras have stood and suffered for me. Seeta will be pleased to see me surrounded by such friends. Let no one be pushed away."
