यदर्थं प्रतिषेधो मे क्रियते गन्तुमिच्छतः।एतदिच्छामि विज्ञातुं संशयो हि ममानघ।।।।
yadarthaṃ pratiṣedho me kriyate gantum icchataḥ | etad icchāmi vijñātuṃ saṃśayo hi mamānagha ||
Wahai yang tidak bercela, aku ingin mengetahui mengapa aku dihalang walaupun aku ingin pergi; kerana hal ini benar-benar menimbulkan keraguan dalam hatiku.
I wish to know, O sinless one, the reason why you are dissuading me, when I am willing to go with you. This creates a doubt in my mind.
Dharma includes transparent reasoning in decisions: Lakshmaṇa asks for truthful clarification so that action may proceed without suspicion or confusion.
Lakshmaṇa presses Rāma to explain why he is being prevented from accompanying him to the forest.
Earnest truth-seeking and moral seriousness—he refuses to act under uncertainty when duty is at stake.
