Here's the corrected version:

The River Sarayu meets the Ganga near Chhapra in Bihar. After leaving the palace in Ayodhya, Sri Ram Ji, Lakshmana, and Sage Viswamitra spent their first night on the banks of the Sarayu. The next place mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana is the meeting point of the Sarayu and Ganga, located near Chhapra in present-day Bihar. The distance from Ayodhya is approximately 400 km. This aligns well with geographical information, supporting the assertion that Ramayana and Mahabharata are part of our real history.

They discovered a serene ashrama there, and Sri Ram Ji inquired about the sage to whom the ashrama belonged. Viswamitra explained the history of the ashrama, situated in the ancient Anga Rajya or Anga Desha. The name "Anga" originates from the word for organs or body, as this is where Lord Shiva burned the body of Kamadeva to ashes while performing tapas. Kamadeva's attempt to arouse Bhagavan during his journey back to the ashrama with Parvathy Devi angered Lord Shiva, who turned him into ashes. This is the place where Kamadeva left his body, or Anga, becoming Ananga, bodiless.

In the ashrama, they encountered numerous brilliant tapaswis who had been observing tapas for thousands of Rishis. The Rishis had a premonition about their visit and were prepared to welcome them. The visit and stay at the ashrama served a purpose known to the Rishis, who took excellent care of the three guests, ensuring they spent the night comfortably.
