Full sarga summary

Asked how Ila fared, Rama continues: as a woman she wanders the forest and comes upon Budha, son of Soma, at his penance -- smitten, Budha learns by his spell who she is, and turns her companions, the former men, into Kimpurushis to dwell on the mountain with Kimpurusha husbands.
