Shloka 3.45.13
सीतया लक्ष्मणप्रेषणम् — Sita urges Lakshmana to seek Rama (The crisis of the ‘distressed voice’)
अवध्यस्समरे रामो नैवं त्वं वक्तुमर्हसि।।3.45.13।।न त्वामस्मिन्वने हातुमुत्सहे राघवं विना।
anivāryaṁ balaṁ tasya balair balavatām api | tribhir lokaiḥ samudyuktaiḥ seśvarair api sāmaraiḥ ||3.45.14||
His strength is irresistible—even the mighty with all their power cannot check it; not even the three worlds fully mobilized, together with their lords and their divine hosts.
Rama is indestructible in war. It is not proper for you to say what you said. When he is not here I do not wish to leave you alone here in the forest.
The verse teaches steadiness rooted in truth (satya): when one knows the protector’s capability, one should not be driven by fear; dharma includes maintaining composure and right priorities.
Lakṣmaṇa intensifies his reassurance, portraying Rāma’s power as impossible to restrain even by cosmic forces.
Conviction and protective counsel—Lakṣmaṇa’s firm confidence is aimed at stabilizing Sītā’s mind.
