lokeṣu sarveṣu ca nāsti kiñcid yat te na nityaṁ viditaṁ bhavet tat |

śaṁsasva vāyo kulaśālinīṁ tāṁ hṛtā mṛtā vā pathi vartate vā ||

Translation

ഹേ വായോ! സർവ്വലോകങ്ങളിലും നിനക്കു നിത്യമായി അറിയാത്തതായി ഒന്നുമില്ല. ആ കുലശാലിനിയായ സ്ത്രീയെക്കുറിച്ച് പറഞ്ഞു തരിക—അവൾ അപഹരിക്കപ്പെട്ടോ, മരിച്ചോ, അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വഴിയിൽ എവിടെയെങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടോ?

Satya is central: Rama appeals to a deity associated with pervasive movement and knowledge, seeking truthful clarity to act rightly rather than act blindly.

Rama, still searching, addresses the Wind-god for any sign of Sita—abducted, dead, or traveling.

Rama’s persistence and determination to establish the truth before proceeding.
