Shloka 27
सीताया वनानुगमननिश्चयः
Sita’s Resolve to Accompany Rama to the Forest
न देवि तव दुःखेन स्वर्गमप्यभिरोचये।न हि मेऽस्ति भयं किञ्चित्स्वयम्भोरिव सर्वतः।।2.30.27।।
na devi tava duḥkhena svargam apy abhirocaye | na hi me 'sti bhayaṃ kiñcit svayambhor iva sarvataḥ || 2.30.27 ||
„O Devi, wenn du in Kummer bist, begehre ich nicht einmal den Himmel. Denn von keiner Seite fürchte ich etwas — wie Svayambhū (Brahmā) selbst.“
When you are in grief O Devi! I do not desire even heaven. Like the self-created Brahma, I have no fear for any one.
