When Raam, Lakshman and Seetaa went to forest after greeting their parents, women started crying thus, "Hey Raam, Where are you going? You respected us like your parents. The king has sent the protector of the world to forest." "Raajaa has not done good to you, he exiled you because of his one queen." Raajaa got more depressed hearing such statements of crying women. 

Households did not prepare food; that day Ved Paathee Braahman did not do Havan; cows did not feed milk to their calves; and Soorya also went to eclipse; mothers did not rejoice on the birth of their first son;  all stars stopped at their places; shine of Nakshatra dimmed; Lohitaang, Trushanku and Brihaspati  and Budh (Mercury) stayed with the Moon; all public abused Raajaa; all people were very sad; all were weeping; all stopped working in Aakaash (sky) and on Prithvi (Bhoo Lok),; the entire world was in disorder; all gave up everything and thought of Raam only; and all were remembering Raam only.

Sarg 42 - Dashrath's Vilaap

As long as the dust clouds could be seen created by Raam's chariot's wheels, Dashrath gazed the path after that he started crying and fell on the ground. Kaushalyaa and Kaikeyee ran to lift him up from his right and left side respectively, but Raajaa said to Kaikeyee - "You don't touch me, you are not my wife, nor my any relation and whoever are your followers, I have no relation with them too. You have disregarded Dharm because of wealth that is why I leave you. I renounce all that contract which I entered into by those circumambulations which I took around sacred fire altar of marriage. If Bharat is happy to get kingdom then I should not get the water offered by him to me through his Tarpan." In the meantime Kaushalyaa lifted him up and brought him to her palace.

He was calling Raam's name repeatedly, he was also looking towards the path repeatedly on which Raam's chariot went. He said - "Raam's chariot must have gone outside the city, because now I cannot hear the sound of horses' feet. Whoever Raam took rest on a pillow anointed by sandalwood paste, on the most comfortable bed, the same Raam will sleep on the pillow of stone and whoever Raam was fanned by several maidservants [here in palace], leaves of trees will fan Him today [in the forest]. From now on He will have to take refuge under a tree for sleeping. When He will get up, His body will be dusty. Forest creatures will find Him like an orphan.

Whoever Seetaa, the daughter of Janak, was always living here in comfort, the same Seetaa will be walking on uneven stony thorny ground. She will be frightened hearing wild animals' sounds. O sinful Kaikeyee, You have succeeded in your mission. Now you enjoy the kingdom as widow because I cannot live long without Raam." Thus Dashrath entered Ayodhyaa seeing road-junctions and mansions deserted, shops and temples closed, all its people exhausted with grief. He asked his attendants to take him to Kaushalyaa's palace saying  "I will not get peace anywhere else." So the attendants took him to Kaushalyaa's palace and there he was gently laid on a couch. He said - "Hey Raam, You have left both of us here. I don't know whether Kaushalyaa and I will be able to live till you come back. Only those people will be lucky who will see Him after He has returned from exile."

The first night became very long without Raam. After midnight Raajaa said to Kaushalyaa - "I can't see you, touch my body with your hands." Kaushalyaa cried hearing this.

When Kaushalyaa found Raajaa in great sorrow, she said to him - "Wicked Kaikeyee has fulfilled her wishes, now she is free to do anything. Now she will find some way to trouble me. If I had given my son to her as a slave, it would have been because at least He would have stayed in the house. They must have reached the forest also  by now.  How they will live in the forest eating only roots and fruits?  When will I see them returning from the forest?  I can't live long without them."
