Ram Vijaya-Chapter 15.
Rama then, taking his leave of Kayakayi went to his mother, Kausalya, and told her what had happened. Kausalya became very sorry and said, Thou shalt not leave me. Hide thyself in my room for fourteen years, and I shall keep the secrecy.

 I cannot remain without thee." Rama replied, "Mother, excuse me. I am now bound by my promise to go to the forest." So saying he threw himself at her feet and obtained her permission to go to the forest."

He then went to Lakshuman and told him all that had taken place, when the latter said, "I shall accompany you. I cannot live here without you, and if you leave me here alone and go to the forest, I shall commit suicide." Rama, having consented to take Lakshnman with him, went to his wife, Sita, and said, " I am going to the forest of the demons for fourteen years; and until I return to Ayodya, I ask you to live with my mother Kausalya. I cannot take you with me to the forest, as you are delicate and will not be able to bear hardship with me." " I shall follow you, " replied Sita, "and share any misfortune that may befall you. I, therefore, go down on my knees and implore you not to leave me here alone. " Whereupon Rama consulted Vashista and promised Sita that he would also take her with him.

Lastly he went to take his leave of Dasharatha, when the king said with tears in his eyes, " I feel much for thee. The wicked and wretched woman has done this all, and I do not think that I shall live until tliou returnest to Ayodya. I shall die of grief for thee. As I cannot tell thee to break the promise given by thee to Kayakayi, I give thee my consent to go to the forest. Child, take with thee all necessary things and pass thy days in happiness. "

"Father, replied Rama, "I do not want any thing. I shall dress myself in valkalyas [barks of a tree] and pass my days in meditation." As soon as Rama spoke these words, Kayakayi brought valkalyas and placed them before Rama, Sita and Lakshuman, who dressed themselves in them and set out for the forest with the minister, Sumant.
