द्वात्रिंशस्सर्गः
Gifts to Suyajna and the Brahmins; Trijata’s Petition and Rama’s Charity
ततस्सन्ध्यामुपास्याशु गत्वा सौमित्रिणा सह।जुष्टं तत्प्राविशल्लक्ष्म्या रम्यं रामनिवेशनम्।।।।
tataḥ sandhyām upāsya āśu gatvā saumitriṇā saha | juṣṭaṃ tat prāviśal lakṣmyā ramyaṃ rāma-niveśanam ||
त्यानंतर शीघ्र संध्योपासना करून तो सौमित्रि (लक्ष्मण) याच्यासह गेला आणि लक्ष्मीने शोभित, रम्य अशा रामनिवासात प्रवेश केला।
His young wife, highly distressed due to poverty, keeping her young sons before her said to the aged brahmin:
Dharma includes nitya-karma (daily obligatory rites): even amid upheaval, one maintains disciplined worship and proper conduct.
After performing sandhyā worship, the character proceeds with Lakṣmaṇa into Rāma’s residence, marking a transition into the next household scene.
Religious discipline and steadiness—ritual duty is not abandoned even when life is unsettled.
