Five Things Rama Gave Up In Leaving For The Forest

“Carrying out the order of His father, who was bound by a promise to his wife, Lord Ramachandra left behind His kingdom, opulence, friends, well-wishers, residence and everything else, just as a liberated soul gives up his life, and went to the forest with Sita.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 9.10.8)
