सीताया वनानुगमननिश्चयः — Sita’s Resolve to Accompany Rama to the Forest
ततः प्रहृष्टा प्रतिपूर्णमानसायशश्विनी भर्तुरवेक्ष्य भाषितम्।धनानि रत्नानि च दातुमङ्गनाप्रचक्रमे धर्मभृतां मनस्स्विनी।।2.30.47।।
brāhmaṇebhyaś ca ratnāni bhikṣukebhyaś ca bhojanam |
dehi cāśaṃsamānebhyaḥ santvarasva ca mā ciram ||2.30.43||
Give jewels to the brāhmaṇas, and food to mendicants; give also to those who are in need—hurry, and do not delay.
Having heard her husband, the glorious and broad-minded Sita was delighted with her desires fulfiled. She made preparations to gift away her wealth including jewels to the virtuous.ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīya ādikāvyē ayōdhyākāṇḍē triṅśassargaḥ৷৷Thus ends the thirtieth sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
It teaches dāna (charitable giving) as dharma, especially at moments of transition: wealth should support the needy and religious dependents, aligning action with righteousness and detachment.
As exile preparations begin, Rāma directs Sītā to distribute valuables and food in charity before leaving royal life.
Detachment and generosity—using possessions ethically rather than clinging to them when entering a life of austerity.
