Sita,who was pregnant,was staying at the hermitage of sage Valmiki. She had many friends (sakhis) who were staying in the forest.

SITA tries to forget her sorrow of separation from her husband by narrating anecdotes from her life. During one such evening with Sakhis , SITA tells about her joyous wedding ceremony.But again , when she is alone, SITA pines for her Lord.

||Pining for the Lord’s feet ||

Oh! will someone please take me to my Lord,
Just help me see Him and sing this ode.

He has such loving eyes, He is effulgent,
His voice is so dear , He has a large heart,
He is indeed handsome, skilled in many an art.

Just anyone ,please bring me His news sweet
Please, will someone take me to His sacred feet?
