All Ayodhya Waits at the Edge of the Hermitage

Guha finds words while the reunited family remains overcome. He tells Ram that the meeting extends far beyond the few figures inside the clearing.

The sage-king, every queen mother, the people of Ayodhya, servants, commanders, and ministers have all come together through forest and river.

Each waits stricken by separation. The vast company is not an army seeking conquest but a city made restless by absence. Guha's brief report brings thousands of unseen faces into Ram's presence and turns private reunion toward the responsibility of receiving an entire grieving world.

Beyond the leaf hut waits a whole city whose mothers, ministers, soldiers, servants, and citizens have crossed the wilderness under one wound.
