vrm.4.16 That Indra s son Vali, dampened with blood and sweat, then looked like just felled Ashoka tree which has stemmed up and so far standing high on a mountain with fully bloomed clusters of its blood red flowers, and when his anima is undone he even looked like the flagstaff on which a flag is raised in honour of Indra, but which is altogether dislodged and abandoned on the ground.

vrm.5.14 The son of Lord Vayu, Hanuma sprinkled with flowers shone like a mountain of flowers in the middle of Ashoka garden.
vrm.5.14 Hit by Hanumas tail, hands and feet, Ashoka garden with broken best trees became like a young woman with disturbed hair, with effaced sandal paste, with her auspicious teeth and lips drunk from and wounded by nails and by teeth.
vrm.5.14 This Ashoka garden of evil souled Ravana is definitely beautiful it is well decorated by Champaka trees, by sandal trees and by Vakula trees.
vrm.5.14 Whoever Seetha, the auspicious wife, a dear one of Sri Rama, the king of kings, to that Seetha this Ashoka garden, an auspicious one, is well suited also.
vrm.5.15 That Hanuma being there observed closely that Ashoka garden shone by Santanaka creepers, Santana trees with heavenly aroma and juice, well decorated in all directions equalling the garden of Nandana, surrounded by animals and Birds, congested with mansions and palaces, resounded with the notes of Cuckoos, decorated with wells having golden water lilies, lotuses and with many chairs and carpets with many sub terrain houses, beautiful trees, with trees with flowers of all seasons and with fruit, with the radiance of raising sun, by the glory of Ashoka trees in bloom, as though radiant as though being made to be with branches without leaves, by hundreds of Birds perching again and again, Ashoka trees with wonderful flowers as head decoration, with flowers spread till the roots destroying leaves, with weight of groups of flowers as touching the earth with Karnolaara trees in blossom with Kimkusa trees in full blossom.
vrm.5.15 There in that garden of Ashoka there were thousands of Ashoka trees some equalling gold, some equalling fire, some equalling the precious stone Niila and Anjana.
vrm.5.15 That Vanara warrior Hanuma saw not far away in that Ashoka garden, in the middle, a lofty temple filled with fragrance like a second Gandhamadana Mountain, standing by a thousand pillars, white like Mount Kailasa with stairs made of corals with platforms made of refined gold as though radiant with glory, clear and because of being tall as though scraping the sky.
vrm.5.16 Ashoka trees with bent branches due to flowers are giving rise to gloom a lot to Her Due to melting of snow the risen up moon also with thousands of rays is causing grief.
vrm.5.17 Hanuma saw Seetha being suited to be with her husband, in the custody of Rakshasis, in the middle of Ashoka garden being immersed in an ocean of grief Hanuma saw Seetha there surrounded by those Rakshasis, like Rohini with planets, like a creeper without flowers.
vrm.5.18 Together with all ornaments wearing great glory that Ravana entered that Ashoka garden having a lot of trees with all fruits and flowers.
vrm.5.18 Ravana entered that great wonderful Ashoka garden together with lakes, shone by various flowers, brilliant with Birds always in rut.
vrm.5.18 Ravana entered Ashoka garden seeing archways of gold and gems crowded by artificial deer of various kinds ravishing eyes and mind, filled with animals of various kinds, together with fallen fruits and full of trees.
vrm.5.22 With the color of just risen sun, decorated by earrings, he was like a mountain with Ashoka trees with red flowers and shoots.
vrm.5.25 That Seetha with a broken heart due to grief, held a wide flowering branch of Ashoka tree and thought about Her husband.
vrm.5.32 Seetha beheld there a Vanara, beaming like a cluster of Ashoka flowers wide opened, with his eyes resembling regined gold, humble and speaking agreeable words.
vrm.5.34 That Seetha, having faultless limbs, leaving that branch of Ashoka tree and as emaciated with grief, sat down on that ground itself.
vrm.5.41 "That woody land of that pleasure garden which afforded shelter to the women folk of Ravana and which has clusters of Ashoka creepers became a jumble of creepers of sorrow for the distressed women by the violence of Hanuma.
vrm.5.42 "O king! A Vanara having a terrific body and a boundless prowess, is stationed in the middle of Ashoka grove and made a conversation with Seetha.
vrm.5.56 Thereafter, having offered his salutation to Seetha, who was present at the foot of Ashoka tree, Hanuma spoke: "Thank heaven! I am seeing you uninjured here!" Then, beholding again and again, that Hanuma, who had made ready for his return journey, Seetha spoke the following words, filled with affection towards her husband.
vrm.5.57 Then, the pleased Hanuma spoke the following words to those excellent Vanaras: I saw that Seetha, the duaghter of Janaka, who was staying in Ashoka garden, guarded unblemished by highly dreadful female Rakshasas and wearing a single braid, young woman, as she was, longing to see Rama, thoroughly fatigued due to her fasting, with her hair twisted together, wearing soiled clothes and looking emaciated.
vrm.5.58 Amidst that Ashoka garden, I saw a large Shimshupa garden.
vrm.5.59 "In the midst of Ashoka garden of the evil minded Ravana and underneath a Shimshupa tree, the virtuous Seetha was seen staying dejected, encircled as she was with female Rakshasas, agonized with grief and anguish, lusterless like a digit of the moon encircled by a line of clouds and disregarding that Ravana who is arrogant of his strength.
vrm.6.4 The Vanaras enjoyed Ashoka, Karanja, Plaksa, Nyagrodha, Jambu, myrobalan and Naga trees.
vrm.6.4 On the lovely mountain slopes, in blossom on all sides, Ketaki and Sindhuvara trees, the charming Vasanti, Madhavi creepers with flowers full of scent, clumps of jasmine, Chiribila, Madhuka, Vanjula and Vakula, Ranjanka and Tilaka, Nyavriksha all in flower, Mango, Patalike, Kovidara in flower, Muchulinda, Arjuna, Simsupa and Kutaja, Hintala, Timisa, Chirna and Nipa, blue Ashoka, Sarala, Ankola and Padmaka all these trees were crawled in excitement by the Vanaras who were delighted.
vrm.6.31 The exceedingly strong Ravana the suzerain lord of Rakshasas, duly entered the Ashoka grove, eagerly longing for the sight of Seetha.
vrm.6.31 Then, Ravana the younger brother of Kubera saw Seetha the unfortunate one, who did not deserve that fate, seated on theground with her head bent down in the Ashoka grove plunged in grief as she was and absorbed in the thought of her husband.
vrm.6.32 Hearing the aforesaid communication of the Rakshasa, Ravana left the garden of Ashoka and bestowed audience to his ministers.
vrm.6.34 Staying in Ashoka grove, I am distressed because of his fear.
vrm.6.34 Sarama, who knew how to investigate could hear the wicked Ravanas resolve and soon returned to Ashoka grove.
vrm.6.34 Sarama, who entered the Ashoka grove, saw Seetha who looked like Lakshmi the goddess of prosperity bereft of the lotus and waiting for her only.
vrm.6.39 Thick with Champaka, Ashoka, Vakula Sala and palmyra trees, covered with groves of Tamala and Panasa trees, surrounded with rows of Nagakesara trees, Lanka looked splended on all sides like the city of Amaravati reigned by Indra with green lawns and variegated avenues and with beautiful trees of various kinds like Hintala, Arjuna, Nipa Saptaparna in full flowering, Tilaka, Karnikara and Patal whose crests were laden with flowers and which were intertwined with climbers laden with multi coloured flowers and red tender leaves.
vrm.6.47 Thereafter, the female Rakshasas brought the aerial car, Pushpaka as per the instructions of Ravana and carried it nearer to Seetha who was staying in Ashoka grove.
vrm.6.48 Thereafter, Seetha along with Trijata who descended from Pushpaka the aerial car, were caused by the female Rakshasas, to enter the Ashoka grove again.
vrm.6.48 Entering that Ashoka grove, planted with a multitude of trees, sporting ground of Ravana and recalling the two princes who she had just seen, Seetha gave way to extreme grief.
vrm.6.56 That mighty Hanuman of great strength with a large body shone like a fire without smoke and resembled a blooming Ashoka tree.
vrm.6.72 Alas! How great is Ramas strength! How great is the power of his arrow! Some regiments of the army have to protect this City and even Ashoka garden where Seetha is being guarded, vigilantly on all sides.
vrm.6.92 While those Rakshasas were thus talking, Ravana who was excited with fury, rushed towards Seetha, who was present in the Ashoka grove.
vrm.6.102 With all his limbs torn down by arrows and with blood flowing from his limbs, that Ravana in the midst of Rakshasas, shone like a blooming Ashoka tree in the midst of a multitude of trees.
vrm.6.113 That Hanuma, the Vanara, known to Seetha, having entered the City of Lanka, seeking permission from Vibhishana, getting approval from him and entering Ashoka grove as per the prevailing regulation, saw at the foot of a tree, Seetha, who was bereft of freshness, looking joylessly like a frightened cow and surrounded with female Rakshasas.
vrm.6.113 These cruel female Rakshasas of terrific form and behavior, with still more cruel eyes, having ugly faces, were heard by me here speaking again and again harsh words to you, who are so devoted to your husband, at Ravanas command, when you were suffering hardships in the Ashoka grove, O divine lady!
vrm.6.126 "Caring a straw for that Ravana and his talk, Seetha, later, actually remained in Ashoka grove.
vrm.6.126 "There, I saw Seetha, living alone in a grove of Ashoka trees, clad in a soiled silk saree, looking cheerless, but unflinching in her vow.
vrm.6.127 On hearing that command of Shatrughna, Dhrushti, Jayanta, Vijaya, Siddhartha, Arthasadhaka, Ashoka, Mantrapala and Sumantra proceeded with joy.
vrm.6.128 Ashoka, Vijaya and Siddhartha, with a great concern, discussed about Rama s advancement and the prosperity of the City.
vrm.6.128 Approaching and entering the palace of the great souled father, Rama the prince offered salutation to Kausalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi and spoke the following sweet and meaningful words to Bharata, the foremost among the righteous: "Give this great palace of mine which looks excellent with Ashoka garden and consisting of pearls and cat s eye gems to Sugreeva for his stay.
