सुमित्रोपदेशः — Sumitra’s Consolation to Kausalya

शिवस्सर्वेषु कालेषु काननेभ्यो विनिस्सृतः।राघवं युक्तशीतोष्णस्सेविष्यति सुखोऽनिलः।।।।

śivaḥ sarveṣu kāleṣu kānanebhyo vinisṣṛtaḥ |

rāghavaṃ yuktaśītoṣṇaḥ seviṣyati sukho 'nilaḥ ||

At every season, a gracious and pleasant breeze—tempered in cold and heat—will come forth from the woods and attend upon Rāghava.

A pleasant yet moderately hot and cold breeze blowing through the woodlands will serve Rama at all seasons.

R
Rāma (Rāghava)
F
Forest (kānana)
A
Anila (wind/breeze)

The verse suggests that steadfast dharma invites harmony: the world becomes supportive to one who lives righteously.

The speaker continues a consoling description of Rāma’s forest life, portraying the forest as hospitable rather than hostile.

Rāma’s worthiness and moral stature—so great that even natural forces are depicted as serving him.
