"When Nisadh-raj came to know about the vanvas given to Shri Ram, he offered his kingdom to him to rule. But Shri Ram humbly denied. And not even entered his kingdom." Krishna said.

"But why ?" Nakul asked.

"Because he had to live like saints, away from kingdoms and it's pleasures. And when the sun arose the next morning Shri Ram, Janki and Laxman started to leave." Krishna said.

"My friend, I have been obliged with your hospitality." Shri Ram said.

"What are you saying Prabhu ? You are our master, it is my duty to serve you." Nisadh-raj Guha said.

"Now we will cross the river Ganga and then walk to our destiny." Shri Ram said.

"Why walk Raghunandan ? My rath is there for your service only." Arya-Sumant said.

"You'll have to return to Ayodhya now, Arya-Sumant." Shri Ram said.

"But Maharaj had ordered me to tour you around the jungle and then bring you back." Arya-Sumant said.

"Arya-Sumant, you know that to follow Dharma, we Suryavanshis have faced many hardships, we have faced hardest tests but never backed away from fulfilling our duty." Shri Ram said.

"Raghunandan, it is Maharaj's orders that if you both don't come then I should take Devi Sita to her father's home." Arya-Sumant said.

At that Shri Ram looked at Janki and went towards her.

"What Pitashree is saying is right Janki." Shri Ram said.

"Nath, does sunlight ever leave the sun ? Does moon light ever leave the moon ? Does shadow ever leave the body ? Then how can I leave you ? Staying with you and being with you is the only happiness for me." Janki said.

Shri Ram smiled at her as she looked at Arya-Sumant and joined her hands.

"Arya-Sumant, please tell Pita-maharaj Dashrath that I am happy in forest, with my nath alongside I have no trouble." Janki said.

"As you wish Devi Janki." Arya-Sumant nodded.

On the otherside in Ayodhya, Kaikeyi was pacing back and forth.

"Why has Arya-Sumant not returned yet ?" She muttered.

"He will return soon, don't worry." Manthara said.

"What if he returns with Ram ?" Kaikeyi asked.

"Maharani, don't you know how Ram is ? The sun and moon can move away from their orbits, the earth can stop moving, but Ram..... Ram cannot move away from his vows. Knowing this I had played such moves." Manthara said chuckling.

"That you said correctly." Kaikeyi smiled.
