Shloka 3.74.33
शबरी-आश्रम-प्रवेशः (Rama and Lakshmana at Sabari’s Hermitage)
इत्युक्ता जटिला वृद्धा चीरकृष्णाजिनाम्बरा।तस्मिन्मुहूर्ते शबरी देहं जीर्णं जिहासती।।3.74.32।।अनुज्ञाता तु रामेण हुत्वात्मानं हुताशने।ज्वलत्पावकसङ्काशा स्वर्गमेव जगाम सा।।3.74.33।।
tau tam āśramam āsādya drumair bahubhir āvṛtam | suramyam abhivīkṣantau śabarīm abhyupēyatuḥ ||
Having reached that hermitage, enclosed by many trees, and observing its great beauty, the two approached Śabarī.
With matted locks, tattered bark clothes and deer skin, Sabari consigned her old and emaciated body to the fire at that moment, with the permission of Rama and ascended to heaven, her body glowing like fire.
Dharma is shown through respectful approach to a spiritual elder and the recognition of the āśrama as a place ordered by restraint, purity, and right conduct.
Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa enter the tree-surrounded hermitage and proceed to meet Śabarī.
Courtesy and reverence—approaching the ascetic with due regard rather than with haste or pride.
