Ulka entered the room of Rameshwari to check on her and was in disbelief for a moment seeing the princess who was always adorned in luxuries, wearing a simple attire not even befitting commoners.

Rameshwari was placing the grass mat on the ground, which confused Ulka.

"Rajkumari ? Yeh kya kar rahi hai aap ?" She asked.

"Sone ka prabandh." Rameshwari said looking at her.

"Yaha bhumi par ? Aapke liye toh shaiya sajj hai !" Ulka said.

"Brahmacharya ashram mei shishya ko bhumi par sona padta hai. Toh jab tak meri shiksha samapt nahi ho jaati, samajh lo Maine shaiya ka tyaag kiya hai." Rameshwari said.

Ulka looked at the her with a frown, as Rameshwari lied down on the grass mat, closing her eyes. The princess of Kosal desh, the Ayodhya-kumari was sleeping on the ground !

This also saddened Ulka, as she sat down beside the feet of her princess, holding it to massage it, but Rameshwari withdrew her feet, sitting up.

"Rajkumari, kam se kam aapke paer toh daba hi sakti hu." Ulka said.

"Nahi Ulka, Brahmacharya ashram mei kisi bhi prakaar ka sukh, suvidha ya sewa swikaar nahi kar sakti." Rameshwari said.

"Yeh kya baat huyi bhala ?!" Ulka exclaimed, causing the Ram-suta to chuckle.

"Anushashan, saiyam aur vinamrata ek vidyarthi mei hone chahiye." Rameshwari said.

At that Ulka pouted and lied down next to her, on the ground.

"Shaiya ka tyaag maine kiya hai toh tum kyu bhumi par so rahi ho ?" Rameshwari asked.

"Aap apna vidyarthi dharm ka nivaran kare aur mujhe apni sakhi dharm ka palan karne de." Ulka said, and Rameshwari chuckled.

The sun hadn't risen yet but Rameshwari had reached the forest, in the very place where Hanuman taught her yesterday.

She was placing a grass mat on the rock, where he sat and gave a discourse yesterday. After that she sat in front of it, began meditating and practicing various yogic postures that he had taught her.

Soon Hanuman came there, his footsteps alerted her. She stood up, turning around, and doing a panchang namaskar on his feet.

"Shri Gurubhiyo namah." She said.

"Kalyanamastu." He said.

Rameshwari stood up with her hands joined, Hanuman smiled at then looked at the rock over which a grass mat was place.

"Yeh asaan kyu ?" He asked.

"Taaki aapko kathor patthar par baithne mei kasht na ho." Rameshwari said sincerely.

"Dhanya ho tum Ram-suta." Hanuman said before sitting down on the seat.

Rameshwari sat in front of him with joined hands.

"Batao, man mei koi prashn hai ?" He asked.

"Ha. Gurudev, Pedo mei fal kyu ugte hai ? Aur hum unme se keval kuch fal hi kyu khaate hai ?" Rameshwari asked.

Hanuman smiled and then looked around the trees, locating a fruitful one, he stood up and went there, as Rameshwari followed him behind.

"Chalo, fal khaate huye yeh prashn ka uttar jaante hai." Hanuman said as he swiftly climbed up the tree, leaving Rameshwari flabbergasted.

From the top branch of the tree he looked down at her, who had her mouth slightly open.

"Kya huya ? Upar chadho." Hanuman said.

Rameshwari nodded but got a little nervous since last time she climbed a tree to pluck fruits for Taksh and Pushkal, and her foot had slipped many times there.

But nevertheless she started climbing again but what she feared happened again, her foot slipped but this time she wasn't able to hold onto any branch.

She fell behind but before she could hit the ground, she found her torso wrapped by Hanuman's tail. She looked up at him as his tail gently placed her down on the ground.

"Koi baat nahi, punah prayas karo." Hanuman said.

Rameshwari nodded and began climbing again, this time too it was difficult for her but her foot didn't slip, and she successfully climbed up to the branch where Hanuman was sitting.

"Ati-uttam." Hanuman said giving her a fruit, she took it and looked at him.

"Ati-uttam kaise Gurudev ? Mai toh asafal hote hote bachi." Rameshwari said.

"Asafal kaise hoti tum ? Yadi tum dusri baar bhi gir jaati toh kya karti ?" Hanuman asked plucking another fruit.

"Punah chadhti aur kya ?" She said.

"Wahi toh. Jab tak tum prayas karna na chhodo, tab tak safalta bhale na mile, vyakti asafal nahi hota." Hanuman said and took a bite of the fruit in his hand.

Rameshwari looked at him, pondering over it.

"Yeh bhi jeevan ka ek satya hai." Hanuman said.

"Jaisa aap kahe." Rameshwari nodded joining her hands.

"Ha toh tumhare prashn par aate hai. Fal kaise ugte hai ?" Hanuman said.
