सीतान्वेषणविलापः
Rama’s Lament and Search for Sita
भृशमाव्रजमानस्य तस्याधो वामलोचनम्।प्रास्फुरच्चास्खलद्रामो वेपथुश्चाप्य जायत।।3.60.1।।
bhṛśam āvrajamānasya tasyādho vāmalocanam |
prāsphurac cāskhalad rāmo vepathuś cāpy ajāyata || 3.60.1 ||
Ketika Rāma meneruskan perjalanan, mata kirinya berdenyut kuat; baginda tersandung, dan tubuhnya pun menggigil—tanda alamat kesusahan yang bakal tiba.
All groups of sages, who knew dharma, and were upholders of righteousness reached Rama, the supreme knower of dharma, and said:
Dharma is tested under suffering: the verse signals the coming crisis where steadfastness must endure fear and uncertainty.
At the onset of the Sītā-separation episode, bodily omens appear in Rāma, foreshadowing calamity.
Rāma’s human vulnerability before impending duty—his body reacts even as he must continue acting rightly.
