Better to burn all torn-up paper before daylight always!" "Very good. You're quite right. Thank you, Sita Ram. Yes, burn the torn paper, please." So Sita Ram, piecing together little bits of paper got a very good idea of what was in the letter that he carried. The bonfire in the road looked beautiful and gladdened his esthetic soul, but the secret information thrilled him, which was better.
He had a grim foreboding that he himself would catch it later on when the facts leaked out, as they were bound to do. Within two days Samson discovered that Sita Ram had been sending official telegrams in code on his own account, very cleverly designed to cause the high commissioner to give those last minute instructions.
And the large-eyed Sita passed her days there in distress, living on fruits and roots, practising ascetic austerities with fasts, attired in ascetic garb, and waning thin day by day, thinking of her absent lord. And the king of the Rakshasas appointed many Rakshasa women armed with bearded darts and swords and lances and battle-axes and maces and flaming brands, for guarding her.
And Rama, O lady, with Sumitra's son, hath enquired of thy welfare! Followed by all the monkeys, thy husband will soon be here. Confide in me, O adorable lady, I am a monkey and not a Rakshasa! Thus addressed by me, Sita seemed to meditate for a moment and then replied to me, saying, 'From the words of Avindhya I know that thou art Hanuman!
At the first sound of the long- awaited heavy footsteps on the outer porch Sita Ram hurried to do the honors, and presently ushered into Samson's presence the enormous bulk of the high priest, spreading a clean cloth for him on an easy chair because the priest's caste put it out of the question for him to sit on leather defiled by European trousers.
Malyavan wishes them prosperity in a phrase perfectly oracular. They are slain. Ravana now takes the field himself. Malyavan resolves to follow him and resign, on the sword, a life now useless to his sovereign. The king is overthrown. Sita is recovered.
And the king of the Rakshasa then entered his own city known by the name of Lanka, accompanied by Sita. And quickly advancing towards Lakshmana while reproving him still, Rama asked him, 'O Lakshmana, is the princess of Videha still alive? I fear she is no more! Then Lakshmana told him everything about what Sita had said, especially that unbecoming language of hers subsequently.
Jinendra's high priest hove his bulk out of the leather chair and went through the form of taking leave, contenting himself, too, with the veriest shell of courtesy scorn for such an offer scowling from his fat face. Samson showed him to the door and closed it after him, leaving Babu Sita Ram to do the honors outside in the passage. "I kiss feet!" said the babu. "You must bless me, father.
Finally he sealed a letter, and directed it by simply writing two small letters r. s. in the bottom left-hand corner. "Sita Ram!" he shouted then. The babu let him call three times, for evidence of how hard it was to hear through that thick door. When he came it was round by the other way in a hurry. "You called, sir?" "You need not copy any more of those documents tonight, Sita Ram.
I beheld it on the other side of the sea in a valley of the Trikuta hills! Sita must be there. I have little doubt of this! Hearing these words of his, we rose up quickly and began, O chastiser of foes, to take counsel of one another for crossing the ocean! And when none dared to cross it, I, having recourse to my father, crossed the great ocean which is a hundred Yojanas in width.
