सीताया रावणं प्रति धर्मोपदेशः
Sita’s Dharmic Admonition to Ravana
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा सीता रौद्रस्य रक्षसः ।
आर्ता दीनस्वरा दीनं प्रत्युवाच शनैर्वचः ॥१॥
tasya tadvacanaṃ śrutvā sītā raudrasya rakṣasaḥ |
ārtā dīnasvarā dīnaṃ pratyuvāca śanair vacaḥ ||1||
Usłyszawszy te słowa wściekłego rakszasa, Sita, udręczona, głosem słabym z boleści, odpowiedziała powoli, w tonie pełnym żałości.
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.
