The Forty-Fourth Chapter

Then, the glorious Rama and Lakshmana, accompanied by Sita, who were constantly enjoying pleasures, crossed many countries filled with cities and villages, and entered a great forest teeming with various kinds of animals. ||1-2||

They entered this dense forest where no path could be found, not a single place was inhabited by noble men, even for the forest-dwelling Bhils it was difficult to traverse, it was filled with winds, dense with various trees and creepers, with extremely uneven terrain, it seemed deep with the darkness of caves, and where waterfalls and many rivers flowed. ||3-4||

In that forest, they walked slowly, only a krosha at a time, due to Janaki. Thus, fearless and eager to play, the two brothers reached the Karna-rava river. ||5||

Whose banks were extremely beautiful, filled with abundant grass, even, long and wide, and possessed a pleasant touch. ||6||

The mountains near the Karna-rava river, were adorned with trees on its banks, which were not very tall, but whose shade was very dense, and which were filled with fruits and flowers. ||7||

Considering this forest and river both to be extremely beautiful, they sat down in the pleasant shade of a tree, accompanied by Sita. ||8||

After staying there for a while, and taking a dip in the beautiful banks, they engaged in the delightful sport of water-play, that is, they entered the water and played in it. ||9||

Then, while engaging in pleasant conversation with each other, they all enjoyed the ripe, sweet fruits and flowers of the forest, as they wished. ||10||

There, Lakshmana quickly made all kinds of utensils and useful things from various kinds of mud, bamboo, and leaves. ||11||

In all these utensils, the princess Sita prepared delicious and beautiful fruits and fragrant rice dishes of the forest. ||12||

One day, while observing the guests, Sita suddenly saw, coming towards them, Sugupti and Gupti, who were enjoying pleasures, and who had beautiful appearances, their bodies enveloped in a veil of grace. ||13||
