राजोवाच । रोहिणीसंभवं त्वं हि शकटं भेदयिष्यसि । सांप्रतं मम दैवज्ञैर्वाक्यमेतदुदाहृतम्
rājovāca | rohiṇīsaṃbhavaṃ tvaṃ hi śakaṭaṃ bhedayiṣyasi | sāṃprataṃ mama daivajñairvākyametadudāhṛtam

Type: kshetra
Scene: Daśaratha points to a vulnerable ‘cart of Rohiṇī’—a symbolic vehicle under threat—while astrologers’ words echo; the sky feels fated, yet the king stands defiant.
