पम्पादर्शनम् — Vision of Lake Pampā and the Turn toward Sugrīva
तदागच्छ गमिष्यामि पम्पां तां प्रियदर्शनाम्।।3.75.6।।ऋष्यमूको गिरिर्यत्र नातिदूरे प्रकाशते।यस्मिन्वसति धर्मात्मा सुग्रीवोंऽशुमतस्सुतः।।3.75.7।।नित्यं वालिभयात्त्रस्तश्चतुर्भिस्सह वानरैः।
ity evam uktvā madanābhipīḍitaḥ sa lakṣmaṇaṃ vākyam ananya-cetasam | viveśa pampāṃ nalinīṃ manoramāṃ raghūttamaḥ śoka-viṣāda-yantritaḥ || 3.75.29 ||
Having spoken thus to Lakṣmaṇa, whose attention did not stray, Rama—the best of the Raghus—oppressed by love and driven by grief and despair, entered Pampa, the lovely lotus-filled lake.
Come, let us go to Pampa, which is pleasing to look at. Sugriva, the rigteous self, the son of the Sun has been staying for fear of Vali at the shining Rishyamuka, not far from here.
Even amidst overpowering emotion, Rama continues forward in purposeful action. The verse frames righteous perseverance: grief is acknowledged, yet the quest proceeds.
After speaking to Lakshmana, Rama, tormented by love and sorrow, moves into the Pampa region, marking a transition toward meeting Sugriva.
Endurance: Rama bears intense inner suffering without abandoning the path of duty.
