Ravana reveals his true form and abducts Sita
आमन्त्रये जनस्थाने कर्णिकारान्सुपुष्पितान्।।3.49.30।।क्षिप्रं रामाय शंसध्वं सीतां हरति रावणः।
āmantraye janasthāne karṇikārān supuṣpitān || 3.49.30 || kṣipraṁ rāmāya śaṁsadhvaṁ sītāṁ harati rāvaṇaḥ |
జనస్థానంలోని పుష్పాలతో విరాజిల్లే కర్ణికార వృక్షాలారా! మిమ్మల్ని పిలుస్తున్నాను—త్వరగా రామునికి చెప్పండి: ‘రావణుడు సీతను అపహరిస్తున్నాడు।’
O karnikar trees in full bloom in Janasthana, tell Rama quickly that Ravana is kidnapping Sita.
Satya and urgent testimony: when adharma occurs, truth must be conveyed swiftly so that righteous protection can act.
Sītā, being abducted, appeals to the forest itself to inform Rāma immediately.
Presence of mind under terror: Sītā seeks lawful rescue by ensuring the truth reaches Rāma.
