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 poetic similes 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.

When GOD Shree Ramji returned from the garden with Shri Lakshmanji and came to sage Shri Vishwamitraji, He narrated everything to the sage of what happened.

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

He may uproot the Mount Sumeru like a radish and run for a hundred yojan (1 yojan = 8 km approx.) with the bow loaded with the bowstring.

This verse gives an inspiration that before starting any auspicious work, we should contemplate on GOD and remember GOD. Sometimes we fail to do this in times of happiness. We should keep in mind that it is only GOD who has given us that happiness. In this context, before the departure of the procession from Shri Ayodhyaji to Shri Janakpurji, King Shri Dashrathji before boarding the chariot remembered GOD Shree Ganeshji, GOD Shree Mahadevji and Bhagwati Parvati Mata. First he made his Guru sage Shri Vashishthji mount on the chariot and then he mounted himself.
