Her disappearance from the scene, wearing the hermit's weeds by herself and her re-entry takes place even before Rama realises what is happening as he is debating the question in his mind.
'aNNal anna sol kEttanan. andriyum uL nivandha karuththum
uNarndhanan.' He heard what she said. Moreover, he understood her feeling and what she desires to do.
'kaNNin nIrk kadal kai vida nErgilan.' He could not leave her behind because he saw her in tears.
'eNNugindranan en seyar paatru ena.' He pondered deeply on what is the right thing to do at this moment.
This scene is a total re-creation. There is no debate. There is no discussion. Even as he is thinking over the question, she comes back in complete preparedness to
live with him. He did not even notice her arrival in her new attire. She comes to him from behind, takes his hand in hers, and stands by his side. This detour from the original takes the stings away. The supposed 'harsh' words spoken by Sita are not at all included in the text of Kamban as he skilfully circumvents the debated issue.
Rama turned to her. Having realised what she has done, he spoke gently to her.
'mullayum kadal muththum edhirppinum vellum veN nagayay!' (My darling) whose smile is brighter than the pearls and jasmine!
'viLaivu unnuvaai.' Just think of the consequences.
'allai pOdha amaindhanai aadhalin,' Because of this decision
'ellai atra idar tharuvaai,' you will cause endless troubles.
The conversation takes place in two different levels. The words exchanged sound very plain. At the same time, they very powerfully convey what is going to follow. 'You don't seem to realise the consequence and you are coming in total readiness to accompany me. This is going to bring endless troubles.' The Poet places Rama in a totally different plane with these words. The words sound like prophecy. However, Kamban carefully cuts further arguments on this and stops here. Rama's role is elevated to his divine nature when his words sound close to a prediction. But the purpose of the avatar would suffer a great deal if any further emphasis is placed on this aspect now. Kamban therefore stops there and moves to her reaction.
She pouted.
'utru nindraa thuyaram idhu ondrumE?' So this is the only thing that causes pain? And this answer once again has another shade as well. 'Do you think that taking me along with you is the only painful thing?' She seems to suggest, 'If I do not come with you, how are you going to accomplish the alleviation of suffering all around? Don't you see the pain that people are undergoing because of Ravana? Have we not come here to kill and cause his killing?'
'en thurandhapin inbam kolaam' Does your pleasure lie in casting me away? The rhetorical question of Sita is constructed so wonderfully well that it conveys more than what is meant in the context. But we have to wait till Uttara Kanda to see all the answers that are packed into these simple sounding four words.
'piridhu oru maatram pernthagai
pEsalan' He did not answer,' says Kamban. And the three walked down the streets of Ayodhya.
'sIrai sutrith thiumagaL pin sela,' With Mahalakshmi - the Mother of wealth - following him in tree-bark,
'mUri virkai iLayavan mun sela,' and with Lakshmana leading, walking ahead of him, Rama walked down the streets, with those words of Janaki. The entire drama gets a different perspective with the question unanswered.
