Once when he had gone to a distant place, at the call of a stranger, his innocent and chaste wife had left her mother’s house. Tulasidasa, who reached home the same day, learnt that his wife had gone to her mother’s place along with a stranger. Tulasidasa became very anxious, and sad, thinking that his wife had been deceived by some unknown person, like Devi Sita, who was abducted by Ravana. Immediately, the mahatma went after her, traveling very fast on the dark path. With great difficulty, he reached his father-in-law’s house. Finding his wife there, he became very happy. His wife, felt shy of looking at him who had arrived facing all difficulties. She talked to him with a voice softened with love.
