Valmiki Ramayana 2.27.11 — Ayodhya Kanda, Sarga 27, Shloka 11
सीताया वनगमननिश्चयः
Sita’s Resolve to Accompany Rama to the Forest
सुखं वने निवत्स्यामि यथैव भवने पितुः।अचिन्तयन्ती त्रीन्लोकांश्च्चिन्तयन्ती पतिव्रतम्।।।।
sukhaṃ vane nivatsyāmi yathaiva bhavane pituḥ | acintayantī trīn lokāṃś cintayantī pativratam ||
ഞാൻ വനത്തിലും പിതൃഭവനത്തിലെപ്പോലെ തന്നെ സുഖത്തോടെ വസിക്കും; മൂന്നു ലോകങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് ചിന്തിക്കാതെ, ഭർത്തൃഭക്തിയുടെ പതിവ്രതധർമ്മം മാത്രം ധ്യാനിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്.
Free from any anxiety about the three worlds, my only concern will be my duties towards my husband. I shall dwell as happily in the forest as I did in my father's abode.
