Seeing that Maayaa head and arrow of Raam, Seetaa started crying bitterly. She said insulting Kaikeyee - "Now your  aim is fulfilled when Raam is dead. What bad Raam did to you so that you asked Him to go to forest  wearing Jataa and Sanyaasee's clothes." And She got unconscious. When She gained Her consciousness, She picked the head and started crying again - "Hey Raam, Today I am seeing you in this condition. Vidhaataa has put me in widow's form. I was already sad, and now I am tortured too.

Maa Kaushalyaa has become now childless. Surely I have not given any good charity in my previous life that is why I, the wife of the person who fulfils wishes of all, am getting so sad. Hey Raavan, Now you may kill me too so that I can meet my husband. Just do this good work for me."

Seetaa was crying like thus, that a soldier Raakshas came running and said to Raavan - "Prahast has come to see you along with all his ministers. He has come here with some important work, that is why meet him urgently." Raavan left Ashok Vaatikaa immediately to see Prahast. He talked to ministers and knew about Raam's movements.

As Raavan went from Ashok Vaatikaa, those Raam's Maayaa arrow and head also got disappeared. Raavan ordered to gather all of his army but warned them not to tell the reason of this gathering to anybody. The ministers gathered their army and informed Raavan about this.

Now there was a Raakshasee named Saramaa, Seeta's friend, who came to Seetaa seeing Her condition. She was very kind to Seetaa, but otherwise very dutiful to Raavan. She said to Her - "Whatever conversation took place between you and Raavan, I heard it all secretly. I don't fear Raavan. I know the reason also why Raavan has run away from here. It is impossible to fight with Raam and knowing the Raakshas nature this is very impossible for Vaanar who fight with trees and stones only, because Raam always protected them as Indra protects all Devtaa. and it is just impossible to kill Raam like this.

Hey Seetaa, The killer of enemies cannot be killed Himself. Raavan has cheated you. In fact now your troubles are over and your good days are near. Now you listen to the happy news. Raam has crossed the sea and is staying with His monkey army, on the right side of the sea. I have seen Raam with Lakshman. He is a complete wish in Himself and is safely guarded by His army. The soldier who came here to say only this that 'Raam has come to Lankaa after crossing the sea'. So now Raavan has gone to consult his ministers.

The then they heard the sound of Bheree. Saramaa said - "Hey Seetaa, This is Bheree's sound. Now people are getting ready for war. Elephants are decorated, horses are put in front of the chariots, thousands of warriors are seen on horses carrying their spears and shields. Roads are full of all kinds of armies, happy Raakshas are seen in ready to fight mood. See the shine of their various weapons, see the rush of elephants and horses all around. Now you will get your Raam soon. Raam will show His bravery along with Lakshman and I will see you sitting in the laps of Raam after the enemy has been killed. Your eyes will with the tears of joy at that time. And then there will be no more tears."
