Oh ! Sita of auspicious countenance, even though I am capable of protecting you I did not like your stay in the forest as I did not know your intentions. [2-30-28]
Since you, Oh ! daughter of Mithila, were born to go along with me to the forest, I cannot abandon you just as a self-respecting man cannot forsake his reputation. [2-30-29]
Oh ! one with (shapely) thighs like the trunk of an elephant follow only the path of righteousness practised earlier by the virtuous as Suvarchala ( wife of Sun ) follows the Sun. [2-30-30]
