Hanuman’s Offer of Rescue and Sita’s Dharmic Refusal
सलक्ष्मणं राघवमाजिमर्दनं दिशागजं मत्तमिव व्यवस्थितम्।सहेत को वानरमुख्य संयुगे युगान्तसूर्यप्रतिमं शरार्चिषम्।।।।
salakṣmaṇaṁ rāghavam ājimardanaṁ diśāgajaṁ mattam iva vyavasthitam |
saheta ko vānaramukhya saṁyuge yugāntasūryapratimaṁ śarārciṣam ||
Oh jefe de los Vānaras: ¿quién en batalla podría resistir a Rāghava con Lakṣmaṇa a su lado, triturador de enemigos, firme como un elefante guardián de los rumbos en celo y embriagado, cuyas flechas fulguran como el sol del fin de los tiempos?
"O chief of vanaras! who can withstand Rama accompanied by Lakshmana, the conqueror of enemies? His arrows resemble the rays of the Sun at the time of the deluge, steady like the elephants who support the quarters of the earth.
