सीतारावणसंवादः
Ravana Reveals Himself; Sita Affirms Rama’s Dharma
अभिषेकाय तु पितुस्समीपं राममागतम्।।3.47.13।।कैकेयी मम भर्तारमित्युवाच धृतं वचः।
abhiṣekāya tu pituḥ samīpaṃ rāmam āgatam ||3.47.13|| kaikeyī mama bhartāram ity uvāca dhṛtaṃ vacaḥ |
ଅଭିଷେକ ପାଇଁ ପିତାଙ୍କ ସମୀପକୁ ମୋ ସ୍ୱାମୀ ଶ୍ରୀରାମ ଆସିଥିବାବେଳେ, କୈକେୟୀ ‘ମୋ ଭର୍ତ୍ତା’ ବୋଲି କହି ଦୃଢ଼ ଓ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ବଚନ ଉଚ୍ଚାରିଲା।
'O Rama, listen, your father has ordered that this kingdom be bestowed on Bharata without any obstacles.
Speech as a decisive moral force: ‘firm words’ here initiate a chain of duty-bound actions, showing how vows and commands shape dharma in royal life.
Rāma approaches Daśaratha for the coronation; Kaikeyī intercepts and addresses him with a determined demand.
Rāma’s readiness to face decisive turns in fate is implied; Kaikeyī’s firmness (dhṛta-vacaḥ) is foregrounded as the catalyst.
