तीर-वर्णनम् / Rama’s Lament at Pampa and the Approach to Rishyamuka
मयि भावस्तु वैदेह्यास्तत्त्वतो विनिवेशितः।ममापि भावस्सीतायां सर्वथा विनिवेशितः।।।।
mayi bhāvas tu vaidehyās tattvato viniveśitaḥ | mamāpi bhāvaḥ sītāyāṃ sarvathā viniveśitaḥ ||
வைதேகியின் அன்பு உண்மையிலேயே என்னில் அசையாமல் நிலைத்துள்ளது; என் அன்பும் எல்லாவிதத்திலும் சீதையிலேயே உறுதியாக நிலைத்துள்ளது.
'Sita has her love truly fixed in me. My love for her is equally steadfast.
Satya (truthfulness) in relationships: Rama asserts the genuine, unwavering fidelity between husband and wife, presenting steadfast commitment as a dharmic ideal.
In Kishkindha, at Pampa in springtime, Rama speaks to Lakshmana while grieving Sita’s separation, affirming their mutual devotion.
Niṣṭhā (steadfastness) and pativratā/patidharma-oriented fidelity—Rama’s unwavering commitment to Sita and Sita’s unwavering love for Rama.
