In the Padma Purana,
Rama, the eldest son, is described as being beautiful from all sides, and though he is a knower of all scriptures, he is also known throughout the world. ||16||
He, along with his younger brother Lakshmana and his wife Sita, the daughter of King Janaka, who was a devoted wife, protected the truth of his father, leaving Ayodhya desolate, and wandered the earth in disguise, eventually entering the Dandaka forest. ||17-18||
There, in a place that was difficult even for the great Vidyaadharas, they resided, and it was there that the story of Chandranakha occurred, meaning that Chandranakha displayed her feminine character. ||19||
Meanwhile, Rama went to the battlefield to learn about his younger brother, while the deceitful Ravana abducted Sita. ||20||
After that, the lords of Mahendra, Kishkindha, Shrishaila, and Malaya, as well as the chief monkey kings like Viradhit, who were endowed with great wealth and possessed great power in the form of knowledge, came to Rama's side, drawn by their love for his qualities or by their good fortune, and after defeating Ravana in battle, they brought Sita back. The Vidyaadharas made Ayodhya like a heavenly city. ||21-23||
Served by supreme wealth, the best of men, Rama and Lakshmana, enjoyed themselves there, facing each other, like the Nagendra (king of snakes). ||24||
Or, until now, why have you both not known Rama, whose younger brother is Lakshmana, who possesses the Sudarshana Chakra, which never goes in vain? ||25||
Besides this, he has other jewels, each of which is guarded by thousands of gods with single-minded devotion, and which are the cause of his kingship. ||26||
He who abandoned Sita for the sake of his people, who is there in this world who does not know Rama? ||27||
Or, let this world be, even in heaven, the groups of gods are filled with his qualities, and their minds are devoted to him. ||28||
Then, Ankusha said, "O sage! Tell me, for what reason did Rama abandon Sita? I wish to know." ||29||
Then, the sage Satavikṣaṇa, whose mind was attracted by Rama's qualities, narrated the entire story. ||30||
