Sarg 94 - Raam in Chitrakoot 

Raam lived on Chitrakoot for many days. One day to please Seetaa, Raam described the specialties of Chitrakoot and said - "I don't feel the grief of not getting kingdom and don't miss my friends. See the peaks of this mountain where beautiful birds live and many metals are found that is why its many areas look silver-like white and blood-red or black. There are many useful trees also here.

See this Kinnar couple, how they are enjoying. It has scented air. Hey Seetey, even if I have to spend years together with you and Lakshman here. I will not be sorry at all. I am benefited with this exile in two ways - one, I am paying the debt of my father and two, Bharat's desire is fulfilled. Jaanakee, Do you also feel happiness in living here with me or not? In the night many herbs reflect green light here. I can certainly live here happily with you 14 years."

Sarg 95 - Raam Shows Chitrakoot to Seetaa 

Raam showed Seetaa the holy river Mandaakinee. Its banks are so beautiful as Kuber's Kamal Van (Lotus garden). The Rishi who live here, all take bath in this river and eat fruits of these trees. Come and take bath with me in this beautiful stream. Consider the people living here as your Ayodhyaa people. I will take bath here with you three times a day.

Sarg 96 - Raam Spots Bharat 

After showing the river to Seetaa, Raam came back and sat on a stone to please Her. At the same time He saw the flying dust caused by Bharat's army and many animals running here and there frightened with the sound. Raam showed this scene to Lakshman and said - "It seems that some prince has come to prey, or maybe a terrible animal, you go and find out what is the matter?"

Lakshman climbed up a tree and looked at north. He saw a huge army coming towards them. He said to Raam to go in a cave with Seetaa, to put out the fire and wear His armor and take bow and arrow."

Raam asked - "Whose army it might be? And what do you think about it, tell me everything." Lakshman said - "It seems that Bharat is coming to kill us to make his kingdom without any enemy. Now I can see his flag near this huge tree. That is why either we should go on a peak with bow and arrow and stay back here with our armor and weapons so that we can stop them.

If I could see that chariot then I could have seen Bharat also because of whom we had to come here and we are destroyed. We will not be at fault if we will kill him because he has taken our rights. After he dies, you will have the whole kingdom and that wicked Kaikeyee will be sorry to hear the killing of her son by me. I want to kill everybody - Kaikeyee, Mantharaa, their relations.
