In obedience to the words of your father, Oh ! lord you are going to the forest. Till you return, please allow us to have her (Sita's) audience. [2-37-17]
Go, Oh ! son to the forest with Lakshmana as your companion. (But) this auspicious Sita, will not be able to live in the jungle like a hermit. [2-37-18]
While son of Dasaratha ( Rama ) was listening to such words uttered by them, he got the bark robes fastened round Sita who was of similar nature. [2-37-20]
