Sita (implied as priyā)FAQs
The verse underscores satya as emotional truth: Rama’s open lament shows that righteous life includes honest grief and faithful love, not denial.

Devotion and tenderness—Rama’s repeated cry reveals the depth of his bond and the seriousness of his vow-like commitment to Sītā.
