लक्ष्मणस्य वनानुगमन-प्रतिज्ञा तथा आयुध-संग्रहः
Lakshmana’s Vow to Follow Rama and the Retrieval of Divine Weapons
यदर्थं प्रतिषेधो मे क्रियते गन्तुमिच्छतः।एतदिच्छामि विज्ञातुं संशयो हि ममानघ।।।।
yadarthaṃ pratiṣedho me kriyate gantum icchataḥ | etad icchāmi vijñātuṃ saṃśayo hi mamānagha ||
Oh intachable, deseo saber por qué razón se me impide, aun cuando anhelo partir; pues esto ha suscitado duda en mi corazón.
I wish to know, O sinless one, the reason why you are dissuading me, when I am willing to go with you. This creates a doubt in my mind.
Dharma includes transparent reasoning in decisions: Lakshmaṇa asks for truthful clarification so that action may proceed without suspicion or confusion.
Lakshmaṇa presses Rāma to explain why he is being prevented from accompanying him to the forest.
Earnest truth-seeking and moral seriousness—he refuses to act under uncertainty when duty is at stake.
