Hearing the dialogue of Sri Rama and Sita, Lakshmana seeks his permission to accompany him to the forest. Sri Rama desires him to stay in Ayodhya in order to look after his mothers. But seeing his insistence, he agrees to take him as well and urges him to bring Suyagnya and other Rshsis, accounting them worthy of receiving gifts from him.
