The forest scenes remind him of old associations and sadly remembers the pleasures of the Daiclaka forest in the company of his beloved. The scene of his negative complaints in the involuntary presence of Sita is extremely exquisite and dramatic. In vain, he searches for it and falls away. His embrace brings him back to consciousness and, pathetically, appeals to show himself, to forgive his past cruelty and to favor him with a tight hug. The greeting addressed to him by the ascetic boys (who were none other than Kusa and Lava), disturbed him a great deal and wasted no time in repudiating his claim to be respected by the sages.
