Sarg 122 - Instructions to Vibheeshan 

Standing near that Vimaan, Vibheeshan asked Raam as what he should do? Raam said - "These Vaanar have fought very bravely for me in the war therefore please them by giving wealth. Thus they will be grateful to you and love you." Vibheeshan distributed a lots of wealth to Vaanar and Raam boarded the Vimaan. Seetaa and Lakshman followed Him.

Raam said to Vaanar and Raakshas - "You have done my work in a very friendly way. Now you may go back to your home. Hey Sugreev, Whatever you did for me, I am very pleased with you. You may also go back to Kishkindhaa Nagaree with your army. Vibheeshan, You have got the kingdom from me that is why even Indra is unable to win it. You rule Lankaa without any hurdle. I am also going back to my own capital Ayodhyaa. Please permit me to go."

Hearing all this Vaanar and Raakshas said - "We also want to go to Ayodhyaa with you. Please permit us to go with you." Raam said - "I am very happy to hear this that you also want to go with me." Then He said to Sugreev to board the Vimaan along with Vaanar. Hearing this all boarded the Vimaan. Raam asked Vibheeshan also to board the Vimaan. All boarded the Vimaan and the Vimaan started flying by the order of Raam.

Sarg 123 - All Go to Ayodhyaa in Pushpak Vimaan

On the way Raam said to Seetaa - "See this Lankaa Nagaree, Vishwakarmaa built it with his own hands. See this battlefield where blood and flesh are lying like mud. Here Vaanar and Raakshas fought. I killed Raavan for you only at this place. At this place I killed Kumbhkarn, Prahast etc. Vaayu-Putra Hanumaan killed Dhoomraaksh, Vaanar Raaj Sugreev killed Vidyunmaalee, brave Lakshman killed Indrajeet and crown prince Angad killed Vikat named Raakshas. Raavan's chief wife Mandodaree did Vilaap here for her husband along with other Raakshas women.

And this is the sea shore, you see here, we stayed here on the very first night. We built the huge bridge here. Nal and Neel named Vaanar built it. And this gold mountain you see in the middle of the sea, he appeared here for Hanumaan to take rest. This bridge is blessed by Shiv Jee, therefore sins are washed  away by the Darshan of this bridge. Here I met Vibheeshan. And Hey Seetey, This is Sugreev's Nagaree. Here I killed Baali."

Hearing all this Seetaa said - "I want to take Sugreev's queens - Taaraa etc to Ayodhyaa." Raam conveyed this to Sugreev. So Sugreev went to his palaces and brought his wives and they also boarded the Vimaan. Vimaan again flew. Ram showed Rishyamook Parvat where Sugreev and He became friends. Then Raam showed Agastya Muni's Aashram and then they came to Shringverpur where Raam's friend Guh Nishaad used to live. Then pointed towards Ayodhyaa He said - Greet it, this is our Ayodhyaa." Ayodhyaa was looking like Amaraavatee Nagaree (Indra Puree).

Sarg 124 - Meeting With Bharadwaaj Muni

Then they came to Bharadwaaj Muni's Aashram. Raam went there along with Lakshman and asked the welfare of Ayodhyaa. Muni said smiling - "Religious Bharat has kept your Paadukaa on the throne and he himself is doing Tapasyaa. Everything is all right there. When you were traveling on foot leaving everything as you obeyed your father's orders by eating only Kand, Mool (roots), Phal (fruits), I indeed pitied you. But now since you have come back after winning the enemy, I am very happy. Whatever troubles you have faced in Jansthaan, I know all about them.

You have protected Rishi, Raavan abducted your wife Seetaa, and you killed him along with his brothers and friends, therefore I am very happy now. Accept my hospitality today. Go to Ayodhyaa tomorrow."

Raam said - "Hey Muni, Do something so that all paths become green and full of flowers and fruits." Muni said - "It will be done." And as he said  this all paths became green and full of flowers and fruits and honey started drizzling from the trees. Vaanar got very happy to see this and started wandering around eating fruits and flowers and drinking honey.
