पञ्चाशत्तमः सर्गः (Sarga 53)
Rāma’s Lament, Vigil for Sītā, and Lakṣmaṇa’s Consolation
नैतदौपयिकं राम यदिदं परितप्यते।विषादयसि सीतां च मां चैव पुरुषर्षभ।।।।
naitad aupayikaṃ rāma yad idaṃ paritapyate | viṣādayasi sītāṃ ca māṃ caiva puruṣarṣabha ||
হে রাম, এ দুঃখ তোমার জন্য উপযুক্ত নয়। হে পুরুষশ্রেষ্ঠ, এভাবে বিলাপ করে তুমি সীতাকেও এবং আমাকেও বিষণ্ণ করছ।
This is not the way you should lament, O Rama. O foremost of men, by doing so you are disheartening me and Sita as well.
