After naming the (four) Vedas symbolized by the to-and-fro (scissor-like clipping) movement of the four erect fingers pointing towards the sky, he (Lord Ram) sent Supernakha to Laxman.
Sita, who was as tender, attractive and charming as a creeper made of gold (hēmalatā siya), smiled softly and sweetly as she showed the (decoy) golden deer (hēma harina) to the Lord (Sri Ram), (quietly expressing her wonder at it as well as her desire to have it as a pet).
(Tulsidas says—) The Lord had a crown of matted hairs on his head; he held a bow and an arrow in his hands as he ran behind Marich (who was disguised as a golden deer at the behest of Ravana). The Lord looked back repeatedly at Sita with a sideways glance as he went far away pursuing the deer. This most endearing and enchanting sight of the Lord resides in the eyes of Sita.
(After Sita's abduction by Ravana, Lord Ram returned to his hermitage to find her missing. He lamented and grieved most gravely; he was so stunned and woeful. He emotionally asked his brother Laxman—) Lord Sri Ram said, ‘Oh Laxman! Tell me where Sita is, who is like a golden spike or arrow, who is like the phases of the moon, who is like the flame of a lamp, and who is like a brilliant star dazzling in the night sky? Telling me this Laxman—where is she?’
Lord Ram observed with a somber mood, ‘Comparing its own beauty, magnificence, charm and glamour with that of Sita, and becoming hopelessly dejected and despaired at its own inferiority, the Ketak flower (the fragrant flower of the plant called Pandarnus Odoratissimus) tore at its heart in despair and wore a garland of black bees as a token of its regret and gloom.’
(Lord Sri Ram tells Laxman—) ‘The moon is very cool, and its rays spread in all the directions of the world to sooth everyone and provide peace and solace to troubled souls, but the same moonlight acquires the heat of fire when it falls on our bodies as we feel agitated and annoyed by it.’
