Narada, whose breath was at the end of his life, and who was trembling greatly, entered the house of Vibhishana, which was shaped like a good cave. ||58|| Seeing Rama from afar, his mind filled with sudden joy, Narada, drenched in sweat, cried out, "Oh, what injustice!" ||59|| Hearing his cry, Rama looked at him and recognized him as Avadvara Narada. At that moment, he said to his servants with respect, "Release him, release him quickly." Then, the servants, who had immediately released him, went to Rama and stood before him, filled with joy. ||60-61|| Narada, whose fear had vanished, sat down on a comfortable seat, having greeted Rama and Lakshmana with auspicious blessings. ||62|| Then Rama said, "You are Avadvara-Gati, a small person. Where are you coming from?" In response, Narada said in order: ||63|| "I have come from your mother, who is submerged in the ocean of sorrow, to bring you news of her condition at the feet of your lotus-like feet." ||64|| "Your mother, the victorious goddess, the worthy and divine Aparajita Devi, is in great distress without you. She washes her face with tears day and night." ||65|| "Just as a lioness is distressed without her cub, so is she distressed without you. Her hair is disheveled, and she rolls on the ground." ||66|| "Oh, Lord! She cries so much that even stones would soften at that moment." ||67|| "How can that mother, who is worthy of praise, a bearer of great virtues, and devoted to her son, be in distress while you, her virtuous son, are alive?" ||68|| "If you do not soon see your mother, who is withered by the sun of your separation, I believe that her life will end today." ||69|| "Be pleased, go, rise, and see your mother. Why are you sitting? In truth, in this world, a mother is the greatest friend." ||70|| "The same thing is happening to Kaikeyi and Sumitra, who are also suffering. She has made the floor of the palace into a small pond by shedding tears." ||71|| "There is no desire for food, sleep, night, or day in her mind. Her well-being is only possible by your separation." ||72||
