Anjali

 After patiently listening to the opposing views of Sugriva and others followed by Hanuman’s practical and insightful arguments on this issue, Rama makes clear His vow to protect all those who seek His help. Rama alludes to the story of the dove that showed extraordinary hospitality to the hunter who had captured its own mate. It not only gave shelter to him but also gave up its own life by lighting fire and jumping into it to appease the hunter’s hunger.

Did not Siva swallow the deadly poison churned out of the milky ocean to alleviate the risk it portended for the entire world?

Rama then quotes the sagacious counsel of sage Kandu, son of the eminent sage Kanva. “One is duty bound to protect anyone who comes seeking help, especially with folded palms, the anjali mudra. Even if it is one’s enemy, if he comes for protection from his enemies, he should be protected at all costs. One should always extend help to whatever extent possible. If one has the ability to protect and yet is unwilling, he tends to lose all his merit in case the refugee dies in his presence. Failure to protect will shut out heaven and bring one infamy, disgrace and ignominy for all times.”

When Bharata comes to the forest with the army, Lakshmana is enraged.

He wants to slay Bharata. Rama calms him down and says that he should not misjudge Bharata for the latter is one who obeys Rama implicitly. Moreover, Bharata is approaching with his hands folded together in supplication. So it is wrong to suspect him. Lakshmana then asks why Bharata is bringing the army with him, if his intentions are honourable. Rama says that Bharata is hoping that if the whole army does an anjali to Rama, He would be moved to return to Ayodhya.
