Sage Valmiki Meets Seeta

Seeta watched the chariot going farther and farther. She wept miserably at the terrible tragedy that had befallen her. When some children from the ashrama, playing near by, saw her crying, they ran to tell Sage Valmiki about her. Sage Valmiki was gifted with divine vision. He knew everything. He could see well into the future.


Sage Valmiki immediately understood who she must be on the river-bank. She was pregnant. Rama had sent her alone to the forest to live there. She needed some support and Sage Valmiki had to do this job. He went with the young hermits to where Seeta lay. “Child, you must be the wife of Rama of Ayodhya and the daughter of king Janaka,” said Sage Valmiki. Thereupon Seeta observed, “O Great Sage! I have nothing to offer you. Would you be kind enough to shelter me in your ashrama? I shall do some work there.” “Welcome to my ashrama. I know all about you, Seeta. I know you are a pure and saintly lady. There are some ascetic ladies also in my ashrama who will take care of you. Come with me as this is your own home now,” said the Sage. Overwhelmed with his kindness and his gentle words, Seeta followed him to his ashrama.
