Shri Raghunathadasa Charitam Vol III Book IX Chp 19 Shlokas 7 - 12
वैदिको ब्राह्मणः कक्ष्चिद्रघुनाथ इति श्रुतः |
रामभक्तिमतां श्रेष्ठो रामायणपरायणः ||
गृहं धान्यं धनं क्षेत्रं सर्वं सन्त्यज्य वेदवित् |
अयोध्यां प्रययौ धीरो भार्यायाप्यनुकूलया ||
रामायनञ्च कथयन् ग्रामे ग्रामे गृहे गृहे |
शिलोञ्चकृत्या सन्तुष्टक्ष्चक्रे यात्रां द्विजोत्तमः ||
स कदाचिद्वने घोरे बभ्राम सह भार्यया ||
अविज्ञाय स्वकं मार्गं वनमेत्य यदृच्छया |
भीतभीतां स्वभार्याञ्च सान्त्वयन् सञ्चचार सः ||
एवं हि वनसञ्चारं सीताराघयोः पुरा |
कथयन् रामभक्तोsयं चचार च महावने ||
There was a brahmana called Raghunathadasa, who had learned all the Vedas and who was an intense devotee of Shri Rama, always immersed in reciting Shri Ramayana. Once, very courageously he gave up all his property, and left for Ayodhya with his amicable wife. That exalted brahmana travelled to Ayodhya carrying on discourses in every house and every village enjoying the alms extended to him by the people on his way. Once, accompanied by his wife, he roamed about a thick forest inhabited by lions and tigers. He had lost his way and reached the forest. He wandered all over the forest, consoling his frightened wife. He roamed about the woods narrating to his wife the story of the life spent by Shri Rama and Devi Sita in the forest long ago.
