Then Dasaratha
descended from above and, placing the Prince on his lap blessed him. "My child!" he said to Seeta.
"Forgive my son. Forgive him .for the wrong he did you to preserve the dharma of the
world. God bless you!"
Indra gave his boon, and the Vaanaras who
died in battle for Raama regained their lives.
Raama and Seeta, now re-united, ascended
the Pushpaka which carried them swiftly in the air with their friends, the Vaanara
warriors and Vibheeshana, to Ayodhya.
As they travelled in the sky, "Look
there!" he said, "that is the causeway built by Nala." Again, "Look
there, that is Kishkindha," he said, "where I met and made friends with Hanumaan
and Sugreeva." And Raama pointed out to Seeta the spots where he and Lakshmana had
wandered disconsolate and related to her all his unforgettable experiences. |
