सीताया वनगमननिश्चयः (Sita’s Resolve to Accompany Rama to the Forest)

Devanagari script

ईर्ष्यारोषौ बहिष्कृत्य भुक्तशेषमिवोदकम्।नय मां वीर विस्रब्धः पापं मयि न विद्यते।।।।

Transliteration

īrṣyāroṣau bahiṣkṛtya bhuktaśeṣam ivodakam | naya māṁ vīra visrabdhaḥ pāpaṁ mayi na vidyate ||

Translation

Cast out jealousy and anger like leftover water after drinking; take me with you, O hero, without mistrust—for there is no fault in me.

Context

Do take me with you, O valiant one! without hesitation. Dismiss all anger and envy (from your mind) like the leftover water after drinking (anger because she disobeys and envy because she, too, like Rama, is willing to brave the hazards of forest life). There is no fault on my part.
