Chapter 51: Guha and Lakṣmaṇa Converse at Night
Chapter Summary

Guha submitted to Lakṣmaṇa that he was prepared to fully protect Lord Rāmacandra and that Lakṣmaṇa could take rest. Lakṣmaṇa appreciated Guha’s desire and stated that He had no desire for His personal comfort upon seeing the state of Śrī Rāma that He didn’t deserve. He passed that night in distress with Guha while lamenting about His parents and the possibility of their experiencing great calamities.
