अयोध्याकाण्डे षड्विंशः सर्गः
Rama’s Departure and Sita’s Questions; Disclosure of Exile and Counsel on Courtly Conduct
इतीव विलपन्तीं तां प्रोवाच रघुनन्दनः।सीते तत्र भवांस्तातः प्रव्राजयति मां वनम्।।।।
itīva vilapantīṃ tāṃ provāca raghunandanaḥ | sīte tatra bhavān tātaḥ pravrājayati māṃ vanam ||
彼女がそのように嘆くと、ラグ族の喜びであるラーマは言った。「シーターよ、あちらで父上が、私を森へと追放なさるのだ。」
O Sita! my venerable father is banishing me to the forest, said Rama, the scion of the Raghus, the joy of the Raghu race, seeing her thus lamenting.
Satya and filial duty: Rāma states the truth plainly and frames the exile as his father’s command—setting the stage for obedience as dharma.
Rāma finally reveals to Sītā the decisive fact: Daśaratha is ordering his banishment to the forest.
Rāma’s truthfulness and steadiness—he communicates the painful reality directly, without agitation.
