Shloka 2.30.5
सीताया वनानुगमननिश्चयः — Sita’s Resolve to Accompany Rama to the Forest
किं हि कृत्वा विषण्णस्त्वं कुतो वा भयमस्ति ते।यत्परित्यक्तुकामस्त्वं मामनन्यपरायणाम्।।2.30.5।।
bhūṣaṇāni mahārhāṇi varavastrāṇi yāni ca |
ramaṇīyāś ca ye kecit krīḍārthāś cāpy upaskarāḥ ||2.30.44||
As for the most precious ornaments, the finest garments, and whatever charming articles there are for delight and play—
What may be the cause for your fear and depression behind your desire to desert one who is so exclusively devoted to you?
The verse supports dharma through vairāgya (dispassion): luxury items tied to pleasure are to be relinquished and redirected, preparing the mind for truthful, austere living.
Rāma itemizes categories of royal luxuries to be distributed away as part of the exile transition.
Practical renunciation—turning away from courtly pleasures without resentment, in alignment with a higher duty.
