JAIN RAMAYAN
"Dear brother! What you say is true. It seems after abandoning our mother, our father went to the forest in search of her. Not caring for hunger or thirst, it seems, he wandered through the forest areas, over mountains and through valleys. It seems he went walking. He did all that only with the noble desire of bringing our mother back to Ayodhya. Therefore, I do not think that he will reject this proposal now," Kush said endorsing Lav's words and after thinking for a while, he again said,
"Of course, our firm determination is to return to Pundarikpur if our mother is not brought to Ayodhya."
The night had far advanced. The two brothers went to bed. How could they know what was concealed in the womb of the future ?
