________________ SEO When the young Lava and Kusa heard the narration of the divine sage, they thought, "If our father Rama really cared for the public opinion, he had many options other than forsaking mother Sitā in wilderness, yet he did such a grave injustice. Why? What must have compelled him to take such a rash step?". Lava asked the divine sage with reverence, "O divine sage, could you tell us how far is Ayodhyā from here, where our father and uncle lives ?" Narada said, "Ayodhyā, your father's abode, is at the distance of sixty four yojanas." When the young man heard the sage's reply, they told Vajrajangha, "Uncle, we desire to meet our father Rama and uncle Laksmana. Could you grant us the permission to do so?" King Vajrajangha consented. A few days after this incident, a grand marriage ceremony was solemnized, where kusa and Kanakamālikā tied the nupital knots.

When they prostraded at the feet of Sitā, she blessed them saying, “May both of you acquire the stature and valour of your father, the illustrious son of Daśaratha." Lava turned to Vajrajangha and said, "Uncle, you have already granted us the permission to visit Ayodhyā. We desire to start our journey now. Pray, request King Ruşa and King Lampāka to accompany us. We want a vast army that resembles the boundless ocean. For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
