वनवासियों द्वारा भरतजी की मंडली का सत्कार, कैकेयी का पश्चाताप – Hospitality of the forest dwellers towards Shri Bharat and his party, Kaikeyi’s remorse

"सब उनके भाग्य की सराहना करने लगे और प्रेम के वचन सुनाने लगे। उन लोगों के बोलने और मिलने का ढंग तथा श्री सीता-रामजी के चरणों में उनका प्रेम देखकर सब सुख पा रहे हैं। उन कोल-भीलों की वाणी सुनकर सभी नर-नारी अपने प्रेम का निरादर करते हैं (उसे धिक्कार देते हैं)। तुलसीदासजी कहते हैं कि यह रघुवंशमणि श्री रामचन्द्रजी की कृपा है कि लोहा नौका को अपने ऊपर लेकर तैर गया॥"

"The people began praising the forest dwellers’ good fortune, speaking to them with warmth and affection. Moved by their humble speech, gentle conduct, and heartfelt devotion to the lotus feet of Sita ji and Ram ji, joy welled up in everyone’s hearts. Both men and women of Ayodhya felt a deep sense of humility, realising that their own love seemed small compared to the raw, innocent devotion of the tribals and hunters. Tulsidas ji reflects: it is solely by the grace of the jewel of the Raghu lineage, Shri Ram, that even an iron block can float with a boat resting atop it. (The people of Ayodhya, noble and virtuous, are likened to a boat, stable, revered, and capable of guiding others across the ocean of worldly existence with their steadfast love for Lord Ram. In contrast, the foresters, considered low-born and sinful by societal norms, are compared to an iron block, heavy and unworthy. Yet, through Lord Ram’s boundless compassion, even these humble people not only floated but bore the weight of saints upon them. Their simple, selfless love made the impossible possible, leaving all in awe.)"
