शबरी-आश्रम-प्रवेशः
Rama and Lakshmana at Sabari’s Hermitage
दनोस्सकाशात्तत्त्वेन प्रभावं ते महात्मनः।श्रुतं प्रत्यक्षमिच्छामि सन्द्रष्टुं यदि मन्यसे।।।।
danoḥ sakāśāt tattvena prabhāvaṃ te mahātmanaḥ | śrutaṃ pratyakṣam icchāmi sandraṣṭuṃ yadi manyase ||
दनोः सकाशात् तत्त्वेन ते प्रभावं श्रुतम्, महात्मन्; प्रत्यक्षं द्रष्टुम् इच्छामि, यदि मन्यसे॥
Observing the trees loaded with honey-sweet fruits on the mountain, Rama and Lakshmana went to see Sugriva.
Truth-seeking with humility: Rama asks for direct understanding while respecting consent, aligning inquiry with satya and restraint.
Rama tells Śabarī he has heard of her power/attainment (via Danu) and asks to witness it.
Rama’s respectful inquiry and commitment to सत्य (satya)—seeking firsthand clarity rather than mere hearsay.
