Again they are equipped with coverlets and sheets, pillows and cushions of various kinds—all soft, white and charming as the froth of milk. It is in such attics that S¶tŒ and RŒma used to sleep at night and humbled by their beauty the pride of Rati and her consort, the god of love. Those very S¶tŒ and RŒma are now lying on a pallet, exhausted and uncovered, a sight one cannot bear to see. The same Lord RŒma whom his father and mother, his own family and the people of the city, his good-natured companions, men-servants and maid-servants, all cherished as their own life, sleeps on the ground ! Nay, S¶tŒ, whose father Janaka is famed throughout the world, whose father- in-law is King DaÜaratha, the chief of Raghus and an ally of Indra (the lord of immortals) and whose spouse is RŒmacandra, is lying on the ground! An adverse fate spares none. Do S¶tŒ and the Hero of Raghu’s race deserve to be exiled to the woods? They rightly say: ‘Fate is supreme.’ (1—4)
