पुष्पकविमानयात्रा—सेतुबन्धादि-दर्शनम् (Pushpaka Aerial Journey and Survey of Sacred Landmarks)

पश्यसागरमक्षोभ्यंवैदेहिवरुणालयम् ।।।।अपारमभिगर्जन्तंशङ्खशुक्तिसमाकुलम् ।

paśya sāgaram akṣobhyaṃ vaidehi varuṇālayam | apāram abhigarjantaṃ śaṅkhaśuktisamākulam ||

Vaidehī, behold the ocean—Varuṇa’s abode—unshaken, as though shoreless, roaring aloud, and filled with conches and shells.

"Vaidehi! See the abode of Varuna, impenetrable and immeasurable roaring aloud filled with conches and oyster-shells."

S
Sītā (Vaidehī)
R
Rāma
O
Ocean (Sāgara)
V
Varuṇa
C
Conch (śaṅkha)
S
Shell/oyster (śukti)

Dharma aligns with cosmic order: the ocean as Varuṇa’s realm symbolizes an overarching moral law that remains steady while human conflicts rise and fall.

From above, Rāma draws Sītā’s attention to the ocean they crossed, describing its grandeur and power.

Reverence and contemplative awareness—seeing nature as part of a sacred, ordered world.
