Shloka 14
रामस्य सुग्रीवप्रति रोषः — हनूमता सीतादर्शनवृत्तान्तः
Rāma’s Reproach of Sugrīva; Hanūmān’s Report of Seeing Sītā
अजानतां ख्यापय न: सुकेशि कस्यासि भार्या दुहिता च कस्य,सुकेशि! हम तुमसे सर्वथा अनजान हैं, अतः हमें भी अपना परिचय दो; तुम किसकी पत्नी और किसकी पुत्री हो?
ajānātāṁ khyāpaya naḥ sukeśi kasyāsi bhāryā duhitā ca kasya
قال كوتيكا: «يا ذاتَ الشعرِ الحسن، إنّا لا نعرفكِ البتّة. فعرّفينا بوضوح: زوجةُ مَن أنتِ، وابنةُ مَن؟»
कोटिक उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic importance of proper introduction and social identification—knowing a person’s relations (family and marital status) before proceeding, especially in situations involving protection, hospitality, or judgment.
Koṭika addresses a woman called Sukeśī and asks her to reveal her identity, specifically whose wife and whose daughter she is, because the speakers are unfamiliar with her and need clarity before responding appropriately.
