After the patience that we showed for centuries and the sacrifices we made, our Lord Ram has finally arrived.”
He also sought forgiveness from Lord Ram: “There must be something lacking in our effort, sacrifice and penance that we could not do this work for so many centuries. Today, the work has been completed. I believe that Lord Ram will forgive us today.”
