The forty-eighth chapter.
She, being very virtuous and devoted to the Jain religion, was sitting in the hut of a poor devacharya. You saw her while wandering. || 54 || The jeweled blanket that her husband Bandhudatta gave her when he went abroad is still kept safe in the house of the king Yaksha. || 55 || Having said this, he bowed down to the benevolent Muni Raja and praised him greatly. Then, with a sword in hand, he quickly went to the king Yaksha. || 56 || And said, "If you do not tell me the true reason for my birth clearly, I will cut off your head with this sword." || 57 || Having said this, the king Yaksha told him everything as it was and, showing him the jeweled blanket, said, "This is still smeared with the placenta." || 58 || Then, he had a union with his former parents and there was a great festival, which amazed everyone with its grandeur. || 59 || Gautama Swami says, "O King! Since the subject has come up, I have told you this story. Now I will tell you the main point, so listen carefully." || 60 || Then, Sugriva, putting Lakshmana in front, quickly went to Rama and stood there, having bowed down. || 61 || Then, with pride in his prowess, he called all the servants who always acted openly and were born in noble families. He told those servants who had not heard this story about Rama's wonderful work, and they were amazed. || 62-63 || And, honoring those servants who knew this story and were devoted to the work of the Lord, he spoke to them in order to reciprocate their kindness. || 64 || "O all you men who are adorned with excellent virtues and are blessed with wealth! Quickly find out where Sita is." || 65 || "You are all endowed with various kinds of knowledge and prowess, so search for her in this entire earth, in the netherworld, in the sky, in water, on land, in Jambudvipa, in the ocean, in the Ghataki Khand island, in the groves of the Kulachala mountains, in the forests, on Mount Meru, in various beautiful cities, in the sky, in all the dense forests, in all directions, and in the caves of the earth." || 66-68 ||
