सीताया रावणं प्रति धर्मोपदेशः
Sita’s Dharmic Admonition to Ravana
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा सीता रौद्रस्य रक्षसः।आर्ता दीनस्वरा दीनं प्रत्युवाच शनैर्वचः।।।।
tasya tadvacanaṃ śrutvā sītā raudrasya rakṣasaḥ |
ārtā dīnasvarā dīnaṃ pratyuvāca śanair vacaḥ ||5.21.1||
Setelah mendengar kata-kata rākṣasa yang garang itu, Sītā yang terhimpit derita, suaranya lemah kerana duka, menjawab perlahan dengan nada yang pilu.
On hearing the demon's haughty words, oppressed, pitiable Sita replied slowly in a sorrowful tone.
Dharma includes steadfastness under oppression: Sītā’s composed reply, even while suffering, models restraint and moral courage.
After Rāvaṇa’s threats and temptations, the narration turns to Sītā’s response.
Sītā’s endurance (kṣānti) and dignity in suffering are foregrounded.
