सीताया रावणं प्रति धर्मोपदेशः
Sita’s Dharmic Admonition to Ravana
गिरिं कुबेरस्य गतोऽथ वालयं सभां गतो वा वरुणस्य राज्ञः।असंशयं दाशरथेर्न मोक्ष्यसे महाद्रुमः कालहतोऽशनेरिव।।।।
giriṃ kuberasya gato 'tha vā ālayaṃ sabhāṃ gato vā varuṇasya rājñaḥ |
asaṃśayaṃ dāśarather na mokṣyase mahādrumaḥ kāla-hato 'śaner iva ||
Ainda que fugisses para a montanha de Kubera, ou para a morada e o salão de assembleia do rei Varuṇa, sem dúvida não escaparás de Dāśarathi (Rāma); assim como uma grande árvore, ferida pelo destino, não pode evitar o raio.
"Are there no pious men around or are you not heeding their words? Your mind is perverted and inclined to commit a forbidden act.
