सीतारावणसंवादः — Ravana Reveals Himself; Sita Affirms Rama’s Dharma
महागिरिमिवाकम्प्यं महेन्द्रसदृशं पतिम्।महोदधिमिवाक्षोभ्यमहं राममनुव्रता।।3.47.33।।
mahāgirim ivākampyaṁ mahendrasadṛśaṁ patim | mahodadhim ivākṣobhyam ahaṁ rāmam anuvratā || 3.47.33 ||
I am devoted to Rāma, my husband—unshakable like a great mountain, majestic like Mahendra, and unperturbable like the mighty ocean.
I am devoted to Rama, my husband, who is unshakeable like a huge mountain, is comparable to lord Indra and is imperturbable like the mighty ocean.
Marital fidelity grounded in truth and righteousness: Sītā asserts unwavering allegiance to her rightful husband and rejects illegitimate claims.
Sītā begins her rebuttal to Rāvaṇa by declaring her devotion to Rāma and describing his unassailable greatness.
Steadfast loyalty (anuvratā) and fearlessness: her devotion is presented as immovable, mirroring the stability she attributes to Rāma.
