All Gyaan (knowledge) of Raam got lost in the grief of separation of Seetaa. He cannot Seetaa still He is wailing for Her. He again said - "Hey Seetaa, You loved flowers very much then why are you hiding behind Ashok trees. Why are hiding behind banana trees? To hide your banana tree-like trunks? Why don't you come outside? This much fun is enough. Come here, this hut is empty without you. 

O Lakshman, Surely She has been abducted by Raakshas. These deer with their eyes filled with tears are saying that Raakshas have eaten my Seetaa. Now my mother Kaikeyee's wish has been fulfilled.  I came here with Seetaa and will go back without Her. How will I enter my palace chambers? People will call me pitiless and weak when I will go back to Ayodhyaa. And when Raajaa Janak will ask our welfare then how will I face him? When he will hear that his daughter is now not in this world, he will surely faint. Instead, I prefer not to go to Ayodhyaa without Her, because I cannot live even in Swarg without Her.

Therefore Hey Lakshman, You leave me here and go back to Ayodhyaa, because I will surely die in separation of Seetaa. You tell Bharat for me that I authorize him to rule Prithvi bowing Kaushalyaa, Sumitraa and Kaikeyee. You tell everything about Seetaa and me to Kaushalyaa." Hearing this Lakshman got whey-faced, and Raam got dejected in separation of Seetaa.

Sarg 63 - Raam's Vilaap - 2

Raam was in great anguish, He again said to Lakshman - "Nobody else is sinner like me on the whole Prithvi, because I am facing troubles one by one. It shows that I have sinned a lot in my previous life. Hey Lakshman, I am deprived of my kingdom, separated from my people, grieved of father's death, I tolerated all grievances, but Seetaa's separation is intolerable for me. My other grievances [which were buried in the soil of time] have now come back to life with this grief.

Hey Lakshman, I am sure that on abducting that meek lady must have wept bitterly, must have cried a lot while Raakshas were abducting Her by skyway. Her hair was so beautiful, but at that time it would be lusterless. Her beautiful neck was to wear beautiful necklaces but Raakshas must have cut it and drunk Her blood. She must have cried a lot while being abducted in this uninhibited forest. [Sometimes I think that maybe She has gone to Godaavaree Gangaa because She loved it very much], but She didn't use to go without me [then how come She went alone there]. Hey Soorya, You tell me about my Seetaa because you know everything. Or O Wind, you tell me about my Seetaa, because you are everywhere present."

Seeing Raam's condition, Lakshman again tried to console Him and requested to search for Seetaa [with cool mind]. Because lack of courage can sink anybody under such a grief. But Raam didn't pay any attention to Lakshman's words.
