Having perceived that Rama was determined to carry out his father's command, Kausalya with her throat choked with tears said these words of piety: Kausalya insists on Rama to take her along with him to the forest --Rama tells her that service to one's husband is the supreme virtue--Kauslaya allows Rama to proceed.
