Shloka 27
Sāvitrī’s Trirātra-Vrata and Departure with Satyavān (सावित्रीव्रतनिश्चयः सहगमनं च)
वने महति तस्मिंस्तु राम: सौमित्रिणा सह । ददर्श मृगयूथानि द्रवमाणानि सर्वश:,उस विशाल वनमें लक्ष्मणसहित श्रीरामने देखा कि मृगोंके झुंड सब ओर भाग रहे हैं
vane mahati tasmiṃs tu rāmaḥ saumitriṇā saha | dadarśa mṛgayūthāni dravamāṇāni sarvaśaḥ ||
In that vast forest, Rāma, accompanied by Saumitri (Lakṣmaṇa), saw herds of deer fleeing in every direction—an ominous sign in the wilderness, suggesting sudden danger and calling for alertness and responsible action rather than heedless pursuit.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights situational awareness and prudent conduct: when nature shows signs of disturbance (animals fleeing), one should respond with restraint, readiness, and responsibility rather than impulsiveness.
While moving through a vast forest with Lakṣmaṇa, Rāma notices deer herds running away in all directions, indicating that something alarming—such as a predator, threat, or disturbance—has occurred nearby.
