पूर्वदिशि सीतामार्गण-नियोगः
Deployment to the Eastern Quarter for the Search of Sita
तत्र योजनविस्तारमुच्छ्रितं दशयोजनम्।।4.40.56।।शृङ्गं सौमनसं नाम जातरूपमयं ध्रुवम्।
tatra yojanavistāram ucchritaṃ daśayojanam | śṛṅgaṃ saumanasaṃ nāma jātarūpamayaṃ dhruvam ||
そこには、サウマナサと名づけられた、揺るぎなき黄金の峰がそびえる。幅は一ヨージャナ、高さは十ヨージャナである。
'The flag of Ananta is fixed by the gods in the eastern direction. Beyond that stands the famous golden mountain behind which the sun rises. Its golden peak with a divine altar spread over a hundred yojanas touches heaven.
Dharma is steadiness (dhruvatā): like the ‘firm’ peak, the seeker must remain unwavering in purpose while traversing vast and uncertain terrain.
Sugriva continues giving measurable landmarks to keep the search organized and verifiable.
Perseverance—remaining fixed on the mission despite distance, scale, and difficulty.
