Ayodhyākānda - Canto 117

Afraid of prolonging his stay at Citrakuta because of many handicaps, Śrī Rāma leaves that mountain and, reaching the hermitage of Sage Atri, greets the aforesaid Rsi. Glorifying the ascetic life of his wife, Anasūyā, the sage urges Råma to send his consort, Sītā, to her. Kindly receiving the princess, who greeted the venerable old lady on reaching her, as instructed by her husband, Anasūyā gives her instructions on the duties of a devoted wife.
