Hanuman’s Offer of Rescue and Sita’s Dharmic Refusal
सलक्ष्मणं राघवमाजिमर्दनं दिशागजं मत्तमिव व्यवस्थितम्।सहेत को वानरमुख्य संयुगे युगान्तसूर्यप्रतिमं शरार्चिषम्।।।।
salakṣmaṇaṁ rāghavam ājimardanaṁ diśāgajaṁ mattam iva vyavasthitam |
saheta ko vānaramukhya saṁyuge yugāntasūryapratimaṁ śarārciṣam ||
ヴァーナラの長よ——戦において、ラクシュマナを傍らに従えるラグハヴァを、誰が耐え得よう。敵を踏み砕くその御方は、発情して狂う方角の大象のごとく揺るがず立ち、矢の光は劫末の太陽に似て燃え輝く。
"O chief of vanaras! who can withstand Rama accompanied by Lakshmana, the conqueror of enemies? His arrows resemble the rays of the Sun at the time of the deluge, steady like the elephants who support the quarters of the earth.
