1153. The dark cloud-colored lord
who went to the forest as Rāma with his young vine-like wife Sita
because his stepmother Kaikeyi
listened to her maid, the hunch-backed Manthara,
and asked Rāma to go to the forest
stays in Thiruvayindirapuram
surrounded with large walls and high mountains
over which the moon floats
as the flourishing groves drip with honey.
