Sita while plucking flowers Sita who had fine hips, flawless beautiful limbs and pure golden complexion felt delighted to see the deer with gold and silver colours on both sides of his body. She called out to Rama and Lakshmana who were equipped with arms. Sita pleads with Rama and Lakshmana to get the deer-- Lakshmana says it is the magic of Maricha-- Rama asks Lakshmana to take care of Sita and proceeds to catch the deer.
