But to his astonishment, he found two boys (Lavan and Kushan) approaching him. When Sita was returning to Rama, he was expecting only one male heir. Later when he found that Sita was having her real child, he was so confused and asked Sita to treat the new baby also as her own child. So he put some holy grass (Dherbai) in the cradle and with his mantra he made that as a child. When the Saint was out of the meditation, he found the child missing. When Sita returned, she found that the Saint was in meditation and didn't want to disturb him to tell him that she was taking her child. The Saint was watching the child and meanwhile went into a deep meditation. One day when she was going out for some chores of the Ashram, she asked the Saint to take care of her child in the cradle. While in the Ashram, She brought a male heir of Rama to the world. The Legend has it that, Lord Rama had sent Sita to the forest when she was pregnant and lived in Saint Valmiki's Ashram.
