## Forty-Fifth Chapter: The Agony of Separation
**251**
And then, in the secluded part of that house, adorned with trees, seeing the incomparable temple, Rama went there. ||10||
Seeing the Arhat, worshipped with jewels and flowers, his sorrow momentarily forgotten, he attained supreme tranquility. ||10||
Looking around at the other images, he stood there, his sorrow somewhat calmed. ||102||
Sunda, protected by his army, and accompanied by his mother Chandanakha, went to Lanka, grieving for the loss of his father and brother. ||103||
Gautama Swami says: "O noble ones, knowing that these possessions are perishable, obtained through various painful means and fraught with many obstacles, do not desire them. ||104||
Even though there is hope of accumulating possessions due to the influence of past karma, upon attaining knowledge through the teachings of the wise, that hope is destroyed just as night is destroyed by the rising sun." ||105||
Thus ends the forty-fifth chapter of the Padma Purana, known as the Arsha, narrated by Ravishena Acharya, describing the agony of Sita's separation. ||45||
