The devotion of Goswami Shri Tulsidasji in the couple Feet of GOD Shree Ramji and Bhagwati Sita Mata is seen in this verse. When GOD Shree Ramji first saw Bhagwati Sita Mata in the garden, Goswami Shri Tulsidasji was hesitant to describe Her beauty. He says that all the similes of poems are already used by other poets and they have given all the similes to someone. Seeing the supernatural beauty of Mata, the new simile does not come to his mind and due to the old prevailing similes already given to someone, he does not want to give them. If there had been any other poet in place of Goswamiji, someone would have given an old simile but Goswamiji did not do so because of his devotion.

Before leaving, they said that they should see the unique and very pleasing image of GOD because such an opportunity will not come again and again in life.

This verse gives an inspiration that before starting any auspicious work, we should contemplate and remember GOD. Sometimes we miss doing it in the delight of happiness. We should keep in mind that it is only GOD who has given us that happiness. In this context, King Shri Dasharathji remembered GOD Shree Ganeshji, GOD Shree Mahadevji and Bhagwati Parvati Mata before boarding the chariot before departing with the marriage procession from Shri Ayodhyaji to Shri Janakpurji. He first boarded his Guru sage Shri Vashishthji on a chariot and then boarded himself.
