Ram Vijaya-Chapter 51.

Immediately after the ceremony of installation was over, Rama gave presents to Sugriva, Vibhishan and all other kings. But Maruti did not accept any of the presents, as the other monkeys did. The monkeys asked Maruti why he refused the presents from Rama. Why do I want the presents from Rama ? replied Maruti. " Rama is always in my heart.* Whereupon the monkeys continued, ** If what you say is true, show us Rama in your heart.* As soon as the monkeys uttered these words, Maruti ripped his heart and showed Rama to them from within. The monkeys were greatly surprised, and threw themselves at the feet of Maruti.

When Rama was on the throne, Kayakayi peeped at him through a window and said, " My son is unfortunate. Look at Rama, how he is happy. I tried my utmost to get the throne for him but he did not listen to me. And at last he has become a slave of his brother, Rama." Vashista overheard what she had said and replied, " I told you many things but you would never mind me. It was owing to your own folly and jealousy that Rama was sent to the forest, and it was you who killed your husband, Dasharatha. I now still advise you to be a good woman and trust, you will love Rama and Lakshuman as your sons,
Bharat and Shairughna."

Soon after, Rama, Sugriva, Vibhishan, and all other kings returned to their respective armies. Only Maruti always remained with Rama. Rama reigned in Ayodya for eleven thousand years and all his subjects were happy under his reign and led a very pious life.

Sita was in the farmily way for the first time, and when she passed six months, Rama took her to his pleasant garden, where they spent some time in pleasure. While they were there, Rama said to Sita, " My sweet heart, you have now passed six months of your pregnancy. Just let me know what you like to enjoy. I am ready to gratify any of your desires." " My love, what I want to enjoy is this," replied Sita, " that you and I should go to a forest where Rishis live, and eat kandamuls there, and sleep on the bed of Trana [grass][ on the ground." When Sita expressed her desire, he said to himself, "Lo, she suffered so much in the forest and yet she likes to go to a forest." So saying to himself he returned home with her.
