सीताहनूमद्भाषणम्
Sita Tests the Messenger; Hanuman Offers Reassurance
स्वं परित्यज्य रूपं यः परिव्राजकरूपध्रुत्।जनस्थाने मया दृष्टस्त्वं स एवासि रावणः।।।।
svaṃ parityajya rūpaṃ yaḥ parivrājaka-rūpa-dhṛt |
janasthāne mayā dṛṣṭas tvaṃ sa evāsi rāvaṇaḥ ||
ਜੋ ਆਪਣਾ ਅਸਲ ਰੂਪ ਤਿਆਗ ਕੇ ਪਰਿਵ੍ਰਾਜਕ ਸੰਨਿਆਸੀ ਦਾ ਵੇਸ ਧਾਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ, ਜਨਸਥਾਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੈਂ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਸੀ—ਤੂੰ ਉਹੀ ਰਾਵਣ ਹੈਂ।
"You are the same Ravana who took the guise of a mendicant, giving up your real form and came to Janasthana.
Truth is defended by accurate testimony: Sītā identifies deception by recalling prior wrongdoing, reinforcing satya against false appearances.
Sītā links the visitor to the earlier abduction episode, recalling Rāvaṇa’s mendicant disguise at Jana-sthāna.
Sītā’s steadiness of mind and fidelity to truth—she refuses to be swayed by outward forms.
