प्रसादात्तत्र भवतस्सानुजस्सह सीतया।।।।अगस्त्यमभिगच्छेयमभिवादयितुं मुनिम्।
prasādāt tatra bhavataḥ sānujaḥ saha sītayā | agastyam abhigaccheyam abhivādayituṃ munim ||
Par ta faveur, je souhaite m’y rendre avec mon frère et avec Sītā, afin d’approcher Agastya et d’offrir mes salutations respectueuses au muni.
By your grace, I wish to go there with Sita and my brother Lakshmana to offer our respectful salutations.
Dharma is reverence toward ṛṣis and elders: Rāma seeks blessings and offers respectful salutations before proceeding in the forest.
Rāma asks Sutīkṣṇa for permission/help to visit Agastya, accompanied by Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa.
Respectful conduct (vinaya) and devotion to righteous guidance (guru-bhakti toward sages).
