33.Sita   told   Rama   that   this   had   been   said   by   her   womanly   fickleness.   Who
is   capable   of   teaching   dharma   to   him?   She   however   told   him   to   think   it   over
with   reason   together   with   Lakshmana   and   he   may   do   whatever   appeals
to   him   without   delay.
