Stricken with grief and rage, Rama demands that Earth restore Sita or grant him entry, threatening her destruction

Full sarga summary

Stricken with grief and rage, Rama demands that Earth restore Sita or grant him entry, threatening her destruction -- Brahma appears, bids him not grieve, reminds him of his nature as Vishnu, and promises reunion with the pure Sita in heaven -- extolling Valmiki's poem and bidding Rama hear its remaining Uttara portion, Brahma departs, and the grieving Rama arranges for the rest to be sung on the morrow.
