Farewells and depression galore! Lakshman bids adieu to Rama’s mom, who had hopes of having atleast L here in Ayodhya. But L says “L remaining where R is is the dharma.” Also, L’s wife had agreed and had said she would be here. All in high praise of Urmila, because she was not going with L. Urmi not going without L because L was going as ‘sevak’ to Rama. If Urmi too went, then she would be a burden on Rama. Hence her idea of vanavaasa was to stay in palace without hubby for 14 yrs. Too difficult. Sita offers to touch her feet. Urmi would have none of it.
Shrutikirti and Mandvi are crying too. They inform that if her hubbies were here, such things wouldntve had happened. But they try to gather strength. They decide to take care of their mothers and father.
Mahamantri too is inconsolable. His wife tries to help him but to no avail. He is sad because he had to hear from KK what he never wanted to hear, he had to say to Lord Rama he never wanted to say, he had to see King’s plight he never wanted to see. He wished God had made him dumb, deaf and blind.
KK’s maid comes to Rama to give him sweets for Bharat’s yuvrajness. Rama is all pleased and praises Manthara for getting sweets. He asks her to feed him so that its all the more sweeter. He apologises for L’s behavior when she gave him sweets. He also tells her that even his (R’s) opinion was for B to become Yuvraj and he had told king about it. Manthara is taken aback. Rama tells her that it was always his wish that he could see B on the throne, but now he couldn’t. He asks her to tell B now that he had sweets, he is all that more pleased.
More cries, more pleas by D. But Rama and Co sally forth. The siddhanth and neethi (rules of life) inform that ‘oath taken to be fulfilled’ is more important than that ‘cry-call of the father to son’ And they leave the palace.
