With the gifts given away, people who were poor became rich. This was the greatness of Rama.
Rama came out with Sita and Lakshmana. With Sita in the middle, the three were ready to leave.
The people of Ayodhya were sad to see their beloved prince leaving. The people said, Sita who was so delicate that sun rays hurt her, would now have to stay in the forest. The princes who lived in luxury and wealth would now be living like paupers.
They said the old King had lost his mind. With Rama away, how would he live?
They decided that they would also live with Rama for fourteen years in the forest. Let Kaikeyi and Bharata rule.
Dashratha heard Rama was leaving. He said to Kaikeyi, you are responsible for this. I will surely die after this. I have no problem with that. What I fear is, people will say there was a king who got swayed by his wife. I, who defeated ferocious demons got defeated by a cunning woman. Bharata will come and make amends.
Rama and Lakshmana were sad to see their father in a pitiable condition. They went to him, to take his leave.
Rama asked for permission to leave. The king said this was their meeting. He wanted to go along with Rama, but Rama stopped him.
The king asked Rama to take all the wealth he could from the treasury. When Kaikeyi heard this, she said Bharata would be king and this was his wealth. What would he have, if all was given to Rama?
Rama said one who was leaving for the forests had no need for wealth. The bark of the trees was enough to cover them, and the sticks were there with them for support. They were taking their bows for protection.
Dashratha said why were Lakshamana and Sita going along? Then he said, Sita could only one one condition, she would go, decked in all her finery.
Rama, Lakshmana and Sita climbed on a chariot. People of Ayodhya started following on foot. Rama said to Sumantra, who was the charioteer, Please move faster, I will not be able to see father's pitiable condition.
Seeing Rama leave, Dashratha fainted. People rushed and took him to his quarters and lay him on his bed. When Kaikeyi came close to the king, the king told her not to come close to him. The king asked to be taken to Kaushalya's room. Both shared each other's
