Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Srimad-bhagavatam, 9.10.4: gurv-arthe tyakta-rajyo vyacarad anuvanam padma-padbhyam priyayah pani-sparsaksamabhyam mrjita-patha-rujo yo harindranujabhyam | vairupyac churpanakhyam priya-viraha-rusaropita-bhru-vijrmbha- trastabdhir baddha-setuh khala-dava-dahanah kosalendro 'vatan nah || "To keep the promise of His father intact, Lord Ramacandra immediately gave up the position of king and, accompanied by His wife, mother Sita, wandered from one forest to another on His lotus feet, which were so delicate that they were unable to bear even the touch of Sita's palms. The Lord was also accompanied by Hanuman [or by another monkey, Sugriva], king of the monkeys, and by His own younger brother Lord Laksmana, both of whom gave Him relief from the fatigue of wandering in the forest. Having cut off the nose and ears of Surpanakha, thus disfiguring her, the Lord was separated from mother Sita. He therefore became angry, moving His eyebrows and thus frightening the ocean, who then allowed the Lord to construct a bridge to cross the ocean. Subsequently, the Lord entered the kingdom of Ravana to kill him, like a fire devouring a forest. May that Supreme Lord, Ramacandra, give us all protection."
