Oh Lord ! At the sacrificial altar, Thy sons, by the command of sage Valmiki, sang sweetly, his divine composition, (the Ramayana). Thou wished to take back Sita, who came there, but she entered the earth and Thou wert reminded by the god of Time(Death) that the hour for departure had come. Thou abandoned Lakshmana, for acertain purpose, and with Thy entire retinue, plunged into the waters of the river,Sarayu, and simultaneously attained Vaikunta, Thy original abode.
