अयोध्याकाण्डे चतुर्थः सर्गः — Rāma Summoned; Pushya Coronation Decision
प्रागेव चागता तत्र सुमित्रा लक्ष्मण स्तथा।सीता चानायिता श्रुत्वा प्रियं रामाभिषेचनम्।।2.4.31।।
prāg eva cāgatā tatra sumitrā lakṣmaṇaś tathā | sītā cānāyitā śrutvā priyaṃ rāmābhiṣecanam || 2.4.31 ||
Sumitrā and Lakṣmaṇa had already come there; and Sītā too, having heard the cherished news of Rāma’s consecration, had been summoned in.
Hearing the welcome tidings of the installation of her beloved Rama, Sita too, had been brought in. Sumitra and Lakshmana had already arrived there.
Dharma as shared responsibility: the household gathers in unity for a righteous transition of power, showing collective support around a dharmic event.
Before Rāma arrives, Sumitrā and Lakṣmaṇa are already present; Sītā is called in after hearing the news of the consecration.
Loyalty and familial attentiveness—Lakṣmaṇa’s readiness, and Sītā’s devoted participation in Rāma’s auspicious rite.
