युद्ध-काण्ड > श्री राम का विभीषण व वानर सेना को लेके पुष्पक विमान में अयोध्या पहुंचना
Rama commands Vibhishana to honour the monkeys with gold and precious stones. When
Vibhishana has honoured them with the gifts, Rama along with Lakshmana and Seetha ascend the aerial
car. When the monkeys and Vibhishana request Rama to permit them to accompany in the aerial car
upto Ayodhya to witness his coronation-ceremony, Rama gladly permits them to do so. All of them
start on their aerial journey in Pushpaka, the wonderful aerial car which can accommodate all,
spaciously.
