In the Padma Purana, after knowing the greatness of the Lavanaankusha, Lakshmana, who was emaciated by grief, gave up his armor and weapons. ||43|| Hearing this account, Rama, who was burdened with sorrow, abandoned his bow and armor, his eyes rolling, remembering the past sorrow, descended from the chariot with great speed, and fell to the ground, his eyes closed due to unconsciousness. ||44-45|| Then, after being sprinkled with sandalwood-mixed water, he regained consciousness and, with a heart filled with love, quickly went to his sons. ||46||
Then, filled with love, both sons descended from the chariot, folded their hands, and bowed their heads to their father's feet. ||47|| After that, Rama, whose heart was melted with love and whose happiness seemed like a dark day due to tears, embraced both sons and began to lament. ||48|| He said, "Alas, my sons! When you were in the womb, I, with my foolish mind, abandoned you both, innocent children, in the terrible forest along with Sita. ||49|| Alas, my sons! Even though you were born to me due to great merit, how did you both, while still in the womb, attain supreme sorrow in the forest? ||50|| Alas, my sons! If that Vajrajangha had not been in that forest at that time, how could I have seen this full moon, your face? ||51|| Alas, my sons! The fact that you were not killed by those infallible weapons indicates that the gods or your own great merit protected you. ||52|| Alas, my sons! Seeing you both, fallen by arrows and on the battlefield, I don't know what Janaki would do. ||53|| The sorrow of exile and abandonment is unbearable even for other humans, so what would be the state of Sita, a virtuous woman, abandoned by her sons? ||54|| Knowing that you both, my noble sons, are no more, Sita, overwhelmed with grief, would surely not live. ||55|| Lakshmana, whose eyes were filled with tears and who was bewildered and distraught with grief, bowed his head in humility, his heart filled with love. ||56||
