## The Ninety-Ninth Chapter
**201**
**Vasantatilaka Vrittam**
The mind of Rama, bound by the intense force of mixed emotions, filled with love, reproach, and fear, was overwhelmed by deep sorrow. That time was an unparalleled torment for him. ||72||
**Vamsasthavrittam**
His thoughts were filled with contradictions, both past and present, causing immense turmoil. They were devoid of any stable resolve and filled with the pain of separation. This contemplation was more unbearable than the midday sun in the summer. ||73||
Thus ends the Ninety-Ninth Chapter of the Padma Purana, titled "Janaparivaadachinta", narrated by the revered Acharya, known as Arsha. ||66||
