Kishkindha Kaanda Sarga 33
Kishkindha Kaanda - Sarga 33
In this Sarga, Lakshmaṇa enters the city of Kishkindhā. The Vānaras guarding the city become scared at the sight of him and stand by obediently. He passes through the seven enclosures with none stopping or checking him.
He then sees the glorious inner quarters of Sugreeva with beautiful women enjoying their way with continuously flowing music. That sight, which is in stark contrast with the state of Rāma, infuriates him. Then he pulls his bowstring and releases it, making a sound that reverberates in all directions.
Sugreeva hears that twang of the bowstring and becomes terribly scared. Then he requests Tārā to go and pacify Lakshmaṇa, before he himself does. Tārā agrees and calms Lakshmaṇa down by appealing to his magnanimity.
A calmed down Lakshmaṇa explains why he was angry. He complains that Sugreeva, indulged in lechery and drinks, forgot about the passing of the four-month time limit he agreed to.
Tārā requests Lakshmaṇa to forgive the lapse of Sugreeva and conveys to him that Sugreeva has already made arrangements for the search of Seetā. She invites him to come inside and Lakshmaṇa enters the inner chambers. Sugreeva and Lakshmaṇa see each other.

Then, having been invited to enter,
Lakshmaṇa, destroyer of enemy forces,
entered Kishkindhā, the beautiful city
among the hills, as had been ordered by Rāma. Lakshmaṇa is entering a city for the first time in many years after he left Ayōdhyā along with Rāma.
Rāma was forbidden to enter a city or even a village, but not Lakshmaṇa. However, Lakshmaṇa is also averse to entering a city that his brother is forbidden from.
But he had no choice but to enter the city now, because he was ordered to by Rāma himself.
