To keep the promise of His father intact, Lord Rāmacandra immediately gave up the position of king and, accompanied by His wife, mother Sītā, wandered from one forest to another on His lotus feet, which were so delicate that they were unable to bear even the touch of Sītā’s palms. The Lord was also accompanied by Hanumān [or by another monkey, Sugrīva], king of the monkeys, and by His own younger brother Lord Lakṣmaṇa, both of whom gave Him relief from the fatigue of wandering in the forest. Having cut off the nose and ears of Śūrpaṇakhā, thus disfiguring her, the Lord was separated from mother Sītā. 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 Rāvaṇa to kill him, like a fire devouring a forest. May that Supreme Lord, Rāmacandra, give us all protection.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Rāmacandra, King of Kosala, gave up the kingdom to keep his father’s promise and walked from forest to forest on his lotus feet which were so delicate they could not tolerate the touch of Sitā’s hand. His fatigue while walking was relieved by Hanumān and Lakṣmaṇa. He created fear in the ocean by moving his eyebrow in anger caused by separation from Sitā due his severing Sūrpaṇakha’s nose and ear, and built a bridge over the ocean. May Rāmacandra, who burned the forest of demons, protect us! He gave up the kingdom to keep the promise of his father (guru), walking from forest to forest by his two feet soft as lotuses. Those feet were so soft that they could not tolerate the touch of Śīta’s hands, which were most soft. His fatigue from walking on the road was removed by Hanumān or Sugrīva and Lakṣmaṇa. Angered by separation from his dear wife because she was stolen by Rāvaṇa because his sister Sūrpaṇakha had her ear and nose cut off, he instilled fear in the ocean by moving his eyebrow. He burned the forest of demons such as Rāvaṇa.
