मारीचवधोत्तरं रामस्य शङ्का-निमित्त-दर्शनं लक्ष्मण-निग्रहश्च
After Maricha’s Slaying: Omens, Anxiety, and Rama’s Rebuke of Lakshmana
सीतां स तु वरारोहां लक्ष्मणं च महाबलम्।आजगाम जनस्थानं चिन्तयन्नेव राघवः।।।।
sītāṃ sa tu varārohāṃ lakṣmaṇaṃ ca mahābalam |
ājagāma janasthānaṃ cintayann eva rāghavaḥ ||
സുന്ദരാംഗിയായ സീതയെയും മഹാബലനായ ലക്ഷ്മണനെയും മനസ്സിൽ ധ്യാനിച്ചുകൊണ്ടേയിരുന്നു രാഘവൻ; അങ്ങനെ അവൻ ജനസ്ഥാനത്തിലെത്തി.
On seeing such dreadfu omens at that time, Rama hurried back to his hermitage.
Dharma includes steadfast guardianship: the righteous do not become careless about the safety of family and dependents.
Rāma returns toward the dwelling area, preoccupied with Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa’s well-being.
Protective love and responsibility (rakṣā-dharma) toward Sītā and his brother.
