Auspicious Omens Arise for Sita
एतैर्निमित्तैरपरैश्च सुभ्रूः सम्बोधिता प्रागपि साधु सिद्धैः।वातातपक्लान्तमिव प्रणष्टं वर्षेण बीजं प्रतिसंजहर्ष।।5.29.6।।
etair nimittair aparaiś ca subhrūḥ sambodhitā prāg api sādhu siddhaiḥ |
vātātapaklāntam iva praṇaṣṭaṃ varṣeṇa bījaṃ pratisaṃjaharṣa ||5.29.6||
या व इतर शुभ निमित्तांनी—जे पूर्वी सिद्ध महर्षींनीही कल्याणकारक म्हणून मान्य केले होते—सुंदर भुवयांची सीता पुन्हा हर्षित झाली; जसे वारा-ऊनाने सुकलेले बीज पावसाने पुन्हा अंकुरते।
Reassured by such omens which augured well as tested by time, Sita, with beautiful eye-brows, and deep foresight experienced great joy, like a seed blighted by the wind and the Sun comes back to joyful life through a pleasing shower. (A foreteller is addressed as siddha in sanskrit dramas)
