पम्पा-तीर-वर्णनम् / Rama’s Lament at Pampa and the Approach to Rishyamuka
इयं कुसुमसङ्घातैरुपस्तीर्णा सुखाकृता।स्वयं निपतितैर्भूमिश्शयनप्रस्तरैरिव।।।।
puṣpabhārasamṛddhāni śikharāṇi samantataḥ |
latābhiḥ puṣpitāgrābhir upagūḍhāni sarvaśaḥ ||
All around, the tree-tops are heavy with abundant blossoms, everywhere embraced and covered by creepers whose tips are in bloom.
'With countless flowers fallen on their own from trees and scattered like a bed of flowers on stone the ground is rendered comfortable enough to relax on.
Dharma here is implicit: Rāma remains disciplined and purposeful even amid beauty, using observation without losing sight of his righteous quest for Sītā.
In Kishkindhā, near Pampā in springtime, Rāma points out the forest’s flowering splendor to Lakṣmaṇa while continuing the search.
Rāma’s steadiness (dhairya) and self-restraint—he appreciates nature but does not abandon duty.
