Shloka 6.5.18
सेनानिवेशः रामविलापश्च (Encampment on the Northern Shore; Rama’s Lament and Sandhyā)
स्वभावतनुकानूनंशोकेनानशनेनच ।भूयस्तनुतरासीतादेशकालविपर्ययात् ।।।।
kadā avikṣobhya rakṣāṃsi sā vidhūyotpatiṣyati |
vidhūya jaladān nīlān śaśirekhā śaratsv iva ||
When will she burst forth, shaking off the unyielding rākṣasas, as in autumn the crescent moon emerges after scattering the dark clouds?
Sita who is by nature slim would surely be slender due to abstaining from eating, unfavorable time and location.
Dharma is sustained hope anchored in righteousness: even amid oppression, truth and purity are envisioned as eventually prevailing.
Rāma longs for Sītā’s release from Rākṣasa captivity, imagining her reappearance through a nature-simile of moon and clouds.
Faithful perseverance—Rāma’s unwavering commitment to recover Sītā through righteous means.
