एवमुक्तोहनुमतारामोधर्मभृतांवरः ।आगच्छत्सहसाध्यानमीषद्भाष्पपरिप्लुतः ।।।।

atha samapanudan manaḥ-klamaṃ sā suciram adṛṣṭam udīkṣya vai priyasya | vadanam udita-candra-pūrṇa-kāntaṃ vimala-śaśāṅka-nibhānanā tadānīm ||

Then, as she gazed upon her beloved’s face—long unseen, radiant like the newly risen full moon—the weariness of her heart was dispelled; and at that moment her own face shone like the spotless moon.

S
Sītā
R
Rāma

Dharma is shown as restorative truth in relationship: the rightful reunion (grounded in fidelity and endurance) brings inner healing and steadiness after prolonged trial.

Sītā finally sees Rāma after a long separation; the sight of him dispels her inner exhaustion and grief.

Sītā’s resilience and constancy: her suffering does not corrode her capacity for love and composure when dharmic reunion becomes possible.
