सीताया वनानुगमननिश्चयः
Sita’s Resolve to Accompany Rama to the Forest
किं हि कृत्वा विषण्णस्त्वं कुतो वा भयमस्ति ते।यत्परित्यक्तुकामस्त्वं मामनन्यपरायणाम्।।2.30.5।।
kiṃ hi kṛtvā viṣaṇṇas tvaṃ kuto vā bhayam asti te |
yat parityaktukāmas tvaṃ mām ananyaparāyaṇām ||2.30.5||
నీవు ఎందుకు ఇంత విషణ్ణంగా ఉన్నావు? నీకు ఈ భయం ఎక్కడి నుంచి వచ్చింది, నన్ను—నిన్నే ఏకైక శరణంగా భావించే నన్ను—త్యజించాలని నీవు కోరుతున్నావు?
O Sita, begin right now all preparations necessary for residing in the forest. O one, with beautiful buttocks, without you even the very heaven does not please me.
The verse foregrounds marital dharma as mutual responsibility: Sītā appeals to the righteousness of not abandoning one who is wholly dependent and devoted, stressing fidelity and protection within marriage.
In Ayodhyā, as exile becomes imminent, Sītā confronts Rāma’s despondency and any suggestion that he might leave her behind, questioning the source of his fear and intent.
Sītā’s steadfast devotion (ananya-bhakti/pativratā-bhāva) and moral courage in speaking directly about duty and emotional truth.
