Sita bore a son there who was just a replica of Ram
He had the same colour, mask and splendour and it seemed that Ram had taken out his part and given to him.725.
The great sage brought up that boy who was moonlike and lookede like the sun during the day.
One day the sage went for Sandhya-worship and Sita taking the boy with her went to take a bath.726.
When the sage came out of his contemplation after the departure of Sita, he became anxious on not seeing the boy
He created another boy quickly of the same colour and form like the first boy out of the Kusha grass held by him in his hand.727.
When Sita came back, she saw another boy of the same form seated there Sita said :
“O great sage, you had been highly graceful towards me and given me she gift of two sons gracefully.”728.

BHUJANG PRAYAAT STANZA
On that side the boys were brought up and on this side Ram, the king of Avadh called the Brahmins and performed a Yajna
And for this purpose he let off a horse, Shatrughan went with that horse with a huge army.729.
That horse reached in the territories of various kings, but none of them tied it
The great kings alongwith their great forces fell at the feet of Shatrughan with presence.730.
Wandering in the four direction the horse also reached the hermitage of the sage Valmiki
Where Lava and his companions read the letter written on the head of the horse, they in great fury looked like Rudra.731.
They tied the horse with a tree and the whole army of Shatrughan saw it, the warriors of the army shouted :
“O boy! where are you taking this horse? Either leave it or wage a war with us. “732.
When those weapon-wielders heard the name of war, they showered arrows extensively
All the warriors began to fight with persistence, holding their weapons, and here Lava jumped into the army raising a frightening thundering sound.733.
Many warriors were killed, they fell down on the earth and the dust arose on all the four sides
The warriors began to shower blows of their weapons and the trunks and heads of the warriors began to fly hither and thither.734.
The path was filled with the corpses of the horses and the elephants,
And horses began to run without drivers, the warriors fell being deprived of weapons and the ghosts, fiends and the heavenly damsels began to wander smilingly.735.
