सीतावियोगे रामविलापः — Rama’s Lament in Separation from Sita
लोकेषु सर्वेषु च नास्ति किञ्चिद्यत्ते न नित्यं विदितं भवेत्तत्।शंसस्व वायो कुलशालिनीं तां हृता मृता वा पथि वर्तते वा।।।।
lokeṣu sarveṣu ca nāsti kiñcid yat te na nityaṁ viditaṁ bhavet tat |
śaṁsasva vāyo kulaśālinīṁ tāṁ hṛtā mṛtā vā pathi vartate vā ||
O Wind, in all the worlds there is nothing that is not ever known to you. Tell me of that noble lady—has she been abducted, is she dead, or is she somewhere upon the way?
O Wind-god, there is nothing that you know not in all the worlds. Do tell me if that lady of a noble race has been abducted or dead or is on the way.
Satya is central: Rama appeals to a deity associated with pervasive movement and knowledge, seeking truthful clarity to act rightly rather than act blindly.
Rama, still searching, addresses the Wind-god for any sign of Sita—abducted, dead, or traveling.
Rama’s persistence and determination to establish the truth before proceeding.
