Watching Sri Ram, she (Sita) appears to drown in the ocean of uncertainties that resulted in great anguish, despair and dejection in her mind’. At that time her left arms and eyelids fluttered as if they were extending their hands of reassurance and support to her (and trying to salvage her from drowning in an ocean of despair and hopelessness)”. (When the left arm and eyelids of a woman flutter it is seen as a good sign. So, amid all the despair and gloom, this sign gave hope and expectation to Sita.)
