Neel made the arrangements of their stay on the north shore of the sea. Both Mayand and Dwivid were taking rounds to guard them. Raam said to Lakshman - "People say 'as the time passes, sorrows effects become lesser and lesser', but my sorrows are on increase. My beloved is very far from me, besides She has been abducted. I am not worried about Her abduction, I am worried about Her age. Her age is shortening. Hey Pavan, You go, touch Her and come back and touch me. I will treat that touch as if I myself have touched Her.

Hey Lakshman, If I leave you here and sleep in this sea, then maybe the fire of my desires may not burn me so much. Seetaa is on the same Prithvi on which I am, this feeling is enough for me. She is alive, knowing this is enough to keep me alive. I don't know how that Janak's daughter, Dashrath's daughter-in-law and my wife will be living amidst Raakshas." Then Raam performed His Sandhyaa after being consoled by Lakshman in several ways.

In Lankaa, Raavan was very much worried seeing the destruction of Lankaa. He said to his Raakshas - "So at last that Vaanar entered Lankaa, destroyed it, and found Jaanakee, demolished palaces and killed my very good Raakshas. Now advise me what should I do? Learned people say that victory depends on good counseling, so advise me as what should we do to Raam?

There are three types of people in the world - highest, medium and the lowest. I tell you their characteristics. Highest person is that who acts upon counseling of able friends, brothers and well-wishers. Medium type of person is that who takes only one aim as his duty, pays attention to only one side, and does all jobs alone. The lowest type of person is he who starts work without taking consideration its benefits and losses, does not take Devtaa along, thinks 'I can do it' and then leaves it in the middle."

As these are the three types of people, in the same way there are three types of advices. When all do the same thing with the opinion according to Shaastra (religious books) that is the best counseling. Where people are of different opinions, but then reach on one conclusion is of medium type of counseling. In which all have different opinions, oppose each other and their advice is not good even after reaching on one conclusion, that is the lowest kind of advice.

Therefore, now you tell me what I should do. Raam is coming to surround our Lankaa with numerous Vaanar; and that is for sure that they will cross the sea easily with His brother and army. Either they may dry it or they might try some other method."
