Dear srivaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

  1. sree raama has three mothers in kousalyaa, sumithra and kaikEyee.

  21. sree raama dwells in three places predominantly in his forest sojourn – chithrakootam, dandaka araNyam [though he lives in various rishi asramams all are combined and stated as one place by vaalmeeki without much fanfare] and panchavatee from where seethaa is lost
