अनिद्रस्सततं रामस्सुप्तोऽपि च नरोत्तमः।सीतेति मधुरां वाणीं व्याहरन्प्रतिबुध्यते।।।।
anidraḥ satataṃ rāmaḥ supto 'pi ca narottamaḥ | sīteti madhurāṃ vāṇīṃ vyāharan pratibudhyate ||
Rāma, the best of men, remains ever wakeful; and even if he falls asleep, he wakes again, softly uttering in a sweet voice, “Sītā.”
"Rama, the best of men never goes to sleep and even if he drops off to sleep he mutters 'Sita, Sita!' in a sweet voice in his sleep.
Single-minded fidelity (pativratā/patnīvrata ideal in reverse): Rāma’s unwavering commitment to Sītā reflects dharmic constancy and moral responsibility toward one’s spouse.
Hanumān consoles Sītā in Laṅkā by describing Rāma’s intense longing and constant remembrance of her.
Rāma’s steadfast devotion and self-control—his mind does not turn away from Sītā even in sleep.
