<P> Ram, while going to Mithila for Sita Svayamvar along with Sage Vishwamitra and Laksman, stopped at the, then - uninhabited, hermitage of Rishi Gautam . Vishwamitra narrated Ahalya's story to Ram, and asked him to free her . Ram touched the boulder with his foot and Ahalya was immediately released from the curse . She fell to Ram's feet and washed his feet with her tears . She felt that her curse had become her fortune as she got the opportunity to seek Ram's refuge in person . She then returned to her husband's place . </P> <P> Many scholars have commented on the sudden ending to the Manas . Valmiki's Uttar Kānd goes into great detail about Sita going into the forest, as a result of disapproving gossip of the citizens of Ayodhya, during the rule of Ram over Ayodhya . Sitaji asks mother Earth to receive her and Ram leaves His human form and returns to His celestial abode . Tulsidas decides not to mention these at all . The Katha Kar Morari Bapu has mentioned in many of his retellings of Ram Katha, that Tulsidasji didn't want to end the Manas in heartache for Sita . Tulsidas refers to Sita as his mother (as well as the mother of the entire universe) many times in the poem and so, on an emotional level, this becomes very understandable . She has endured enough pain throughout the Manas and so ends his retelling at a relatively happy moment . It is said that there are some Vaishnav devotees who will only recite the Bālakāṇḍa of the Manas, as this is seen as the happiest period of Ram and Sita's lila on earth . However, Ramchritmans at few places do make reference of Sita's abandonment, birth of lav - kush and Ram's demise to his abode . These stories thus can be said to have mentioned in brief . </P> <P> An unpublished English poetic translation of Ramcharitmanas is provided by (Late) Binda Prasad Khattri of New Market, Banda, Uttar Pradesh . Apparently, the translation can be sung essentially in the same way and with the same rhythm as the original Hindi work . </P> <P> Frederick Growse translated the Ramcharitmanas into English under the title The Ramayan of Tulsidas during the nineteenth century . His translation remains in print . </P>
