Sarg 98 - Brahmaa Jee Consoles Raam 

Raam got very sad at disappearing of Seetaa in Rasaatal. He started weeping, then said angrily - "Our Lakshmee-like Seetaa got disappeared in front of me? If we brought Her after killing Raavan, then I can bring Her back from Rasaatal also. Hey Prithvi, Seetaa took birth from you at the time when Raajaa Janak was tilling his land. Thus you are my mother-in-law. You return my Seetaa back, otherwise you take me also there. Wherever Seetaa will live, I will also live at the same place. If you will not return my Seetaa as She was, then I will hurt you along with mountains and caves, and destroy you." 

Seeing Raam so much grieved, Brahmaa said - "Hey Raam, You are the incarnation of Vishnu. You should not be so sad. Seetaa has gone to Naag Lok. You listen to this Vaalmeeki written Uttar Kaand attentively. This is very good epic. Your character is described in this epic, so you listen to its remaining part." Brahmaa Jee went away after telling this to Raam.

Raam said to Vaalmeeki Jee - "Hey Tapaswee, All Rishi Gan are curious to listen to my future. Therefore the remaining part should be recited tomorrow." Lav and Kush also went to their hut built from leaves.

Sarg 99 - Remaining Raamaayan

Next day Raam called all Muni and kings and told His sons to recite the remaining part. Lav and Kush started reciting. After Seetaa had left for Rasaatal, Raam completed His Yagya with great difficulty. He sent off all Vaanar, Raakshas and kings and came back to Ayodhyaa. He was extremely sad in Ayodhyaa. He did not remarry so in every Yagya He used to keep a gold statue of Seetaa beside Him.

Raam ruled for 10,000 years according to religious rules. He did Vaamdev, Agnishtom, Atriraatra, etc Yagya His public was very happy in His kingdom. Clouds rained enough, Prithvi gave enough grains, there was never a disease to anybody. Nobody died untimely. After long time Kaushalyaa died, after her Sumitraa and Kaikeyee also died and all lived with Raajaa Dashrath. Raam donated to a lots of Tapaswee and did Yagya to satisfy Pitar

Sarg 100 - Bharat Goes to Win Gandharv

After some time, Buddhaajit, the king of Kaikaya Desh, sent Garg Muni to Raam with some gifts for Him - 10,000 horses, blankets, many gems and jewelry. Raam got very happy to hear the coming of Angiraa Rishi's son Garg Muni. He went one Kos with His brothers to welcome Maharshi, brought him in the city and asked his welfare. He took Maamaa's gifts from him and asked the reason of his coming and if there was any message from Maamaa Yudhaajit.

Maharshi Garg said - "Listen to the message which Yudhaajit has sent to you. On the banks of Sindhu River, the son of Gandharv Raaj Shailoosh rules with 30 million (3 Crores) Gandharv. This country is very beautiful. You win that country and expand your kingdom." Hearing this Raam looked at Bharat and said - "Hey Maharshi, Bharat's two sons - Taksh and Pushkal along with Bharat will go there, kill those Gandharv and win their kingdom. And Bharat will habitat two cities. After handing over them to his sons he will come back." So Bharat Jee went there with Garg Muni and his sons and a huge army.
