शबरी-आश्रम-प्रवेशः (Rama and Lakshmana at Sabari’s Hermitage)
कृत्वा च शैलपृष्ठे तु तौ वासं रामलक्ष्मणौ।पम्पायाः पश्चिमं तीरं राघवावुपतस्थतुः।।।।
kṛtvā ca śailapṛṣṭhe tu tau vāsaṁ rāmalakṣmaṇau |
pampāyāḥ paścimaṁ tīraṁ rāghavāv upatasthatuḥ ||
After spending the night upon the mountain-slope, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa set out and reached the western bank of Lake Pampā.
Rama and Lakshmana halted on the slope of the mountain and then departed for the western bank of Pampa.
Dharma is perseverance in rightful purpose: despite hardship and exile, Rāma continues his quest with steadiness and self-control.
The narrative marks a travel transition: Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa move from a mountain halt to the western shore of Pampā.
Endurance and resolve: the brothers maintain disciplined movement and focus during their forest journey.
