Hearing this, Sita swoons and laments her cruel fate, yet resolves not to drown herself lest Rama's line be mocked
Full sarga summary
Hearing this, Sita swoons and laments her cruel fate, yet resolves not to drown herself lest Rama's line be mocked -- through Lakshmana she sends her obeisance to her mothers-in-law and a message bidding Rama treat his subjects as he treats his brothers, for that is his supreme duty -- unable to speak, Lakshmana salutes her, recrosses the Ganga, and departs as Sita weeps alone in the forest.
