hā rāmeti ca duḥkhārtā hā punar lakṣmaṇeti ca |
hā śvaśru mama kausalyē hā sumitrēti bhāminī ||5.25.11||
In her anguish the radiant lady cried, “Alas, Rāma!” and again, “Alas, Lakṣmaṇa!”—“Alas, my mother-in-law Kauśalyā! Alas, Sumitrā!”

Dharma is shown as fidelity to rightful relationships: Sītā’s heart turns to her husband, his brother, and her elders—bonds governed by truth and duty.
Overwhelmed in captivity, Sītā laments by calling out the names of her closest family.
Devotion and familial reverence: she remembers and honors husband, brother-in-law, and mothers-in-law even in despair.
