सीतान्वेषणविलापः (Rama’s Lament and Search for Sita)
स वनानि नदीश्शैलान् गिरिप्रस्रवणानि च।।3.60.37।।काननानि च वेगेन भ्रमत्यपरिसंस्थितः।
sa vanāni nadīś śailān giriprasravaṇāni ca || 3.60.37 || kānanāni ca vegena bhramaty aparisaṃsthitaḥ |
Unsteady in mind, he hurriedly wandered through forests and rivers, over hills and mountains, along mountain springs and streams, and through dense woodlands, unable to find rest.
He rushed through forests, rivers, hills and mountain streams and through dense jungles with an unstable mind.
The verse reinforces dharma as relentless pursuit of what is right: even when emotionally shaken, one continues the necessary action to restore moral order.
Rāma searches across varied terrain—woods, waters, and mountains—without pause.
Endurance—his willingness to cross hardships for Sītā shows steadfast commitment.
