With his bow and arrow in his hand, Rama was coming back. On the way he saw many ill omens. He saw a snake on his left and a fox on his right. He was not sure what this meant.
Maricha had imitated his voice, so probably Lakshmana had left an empty house and come to look for him. Then again, Lakshmana should not be fooled with this. He should not be leaving Sita alone. He appealed to the Gods to ensure that Sita was safe, when he saw Lakshmana coming towards him.
He asked Lakshmana why he had left Sita alone and come away. He said It seems today the Rakshasas will have carried away Sita. I told you to take care of Sita. Why did you leave her alone? Dandaka forest is full of rakshasas and other ferocious creatures. I do not blame you, it is my destiny. The magical deer took me to the forest. As you said earlier, it was Maricha. If you go deep, you will see him lying dead.
Thus talking the two brothers, walking swiftly, reached the hut. They started calling out to Sita. Rama said I will die if I do not see see Sita. Seeing the house empty, someone has carried her away.
They started looking everywhere. They looked around everywhere, searching the banks of river Godavari, looking on the mountains, looking inside caves. Sita was no where to be found. Rama had tears in his eyes. He asked all if anyone knew where Sita was. Rama said Maybe she has gone somewhere with a wife of one of the sages, or she is playing hide and seek. I may have lost my kingdom but I had my queen with me. Today that is also gone. It is like the sun sinks in the sea at the end of the day, my light has gone away from my life.O creatures of the forest, have you seen Sita?
Going a bit into the forest, Rama saw a broken chariot wheel and some jewels. Rama said Maybe Sita is somewhere close by. These jewels seem to be Sita's. Seeing a mountain close by, Rama said maybe the mountain had swallowed Sita. He said he would cut off the mountain.
Lakshmana said it was not correct to cut off the mountain. Why would the mountain take Sita away?
Rama said he would then destroy this world. Lakshmana said this was not correct.
They looked everywhere, near the lakes , trees to see if Sita was anywhere. Whoever they saw, they would ask if they had seen Sita.
Searching around, they saw Jatayu covered with blood.
