Chapter 119: Rāma Departs to Daṇḍakāraṇya
Chapter Summary

Sītā-devī decorated herself with the divine garland, ornaments and other items gifted to her by Anasūyā-devī who then described the evening there and requested her to go to Rāma. Rāma was happy to see Sītā thus decorated. She informed Him of Anasūyā’s gifting her these items and so on. Rāma was honored by the ascetics there. After Rāma rested for the night there with Sītā-devī, He took permission to depart from the sages early in the morning. They informed Him of the disturbances created by the rākṣasas and requested Him to destroy them. Rāma, Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa then walked on the path showed by the sages and entered Daṇḍakāraṇya.
