चित्रकूटगमनम् तथा पर्णशालाप्रवेशः
Arrival at Chitrakuta and Establishing the Leaf-Hut
सुरम्यमासाद्य तु चित्रकूटं नदीं च तां माल्यवतीं सुतीर्थाम्।ननन्द हृष्टो मृगपक्षिजुष्टां जहौ च दुखं पुरविप्रवासात्।।।।
suramyam āsādya tu citrakūṭaṃ nadīṃ ca tāṃ mālyavatīṃ sutīrthām | nananda hṛṣṭo mṛgapakṣijuṣṭāṃ jahau ca duḥkhaṃ puravipravāsāt ||
ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସୁରମ୍ୟ ଚିତ୍ରକୂଟକୁ ଏବଂ ସୁତୀର୍ଥଯୁକ୍ତ ମାଲ୍ୟବତୀ ନଦୀକୁ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇ ରାମ ହୃଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ; ମୃଗପକ୍ଷୀମାନେ ଯେଉଁ ଭୂମିକୁ ସେବନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେହି ଦେଶ ଦେଖି ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ହୋଇ, ପୁରବିପ୍ରବାସଜନ୍ୟ ଦୁଃଖକୁ ତ୍ୟାଗ କଲେ।
Having reached the marvellous mount Chitrakuta and river Malyavati with excellent holy places and full of animals and birds, Rama shed the sorrow of his banishment from the city (of Ayodhya) and rejoiced with a gladdened heart.ইত্যার্ষে শ্রীমদ্রামাযণে বাল্মীকীয আদিকাব্যে অযোধ্যাকাণ্ডে ষট্পঞ্চাশস্সর্গঃ৷৷Thus ends the fiftysixth sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
Dharma is resilience without bitterness: even under an imposed hardship, Rāma receives the forest as a rightful field for righteous living, transforming grief into steadiness and gratitude.
The exiles arrive at Citrakūṭa and the river Mālyavatī; the natural beauty and sanctity of the place restores Rāma’s spirits.
Equanimity and inner strength—Rāma’s capacity to release sorrow and live dharmically wherever he is placed.
