समुद्रलङ्घनारम्भः — Commencement of the Ocean-Crossing
अन्यकार्यविषक्तस्य बद्धवैरस्य राक्षसैः।तस्य सीता हृता भार्या रावणेन यशस्विनी।।।।
anyakāryaviṣaktasya baddhavairasya rākṣasaiḥ | tasya sītā hṛtā bhāryā rāvaṇena yaśasvinī ||

"While Rama was engaged otherwise, his glorious wife Sita was abducted by Ravana actuated by deep-rooted enmity of demons with him.
It contrasts dharma and adharma: the abduction of Sītā is a paradigmatic violation of righteousness, showing how unrighteous hostility targets the innocent.
Hanumān recounts the pivotal wrong: Sītā was seized by Rāvaṇa when Rāma was momentarily engaged elsewhere.
Sītā’s dignity and moral radiance (yaśas), implied even in suffering; and the implied duty upon the righteous to respond to injustice.
