sarvaṃ tu duḥkhaṃ mama lakṣmaṇedaṃ śāntaṃ śarīre vanam etya śūnyam |

sītāviyogāt punar apy udīrṇaṃ kāṣṭhair ivāgniḥ sahasā pradīptaḥ ||

Translation

แต่โอ้ลักษมณะ ความทุกข์ทั้งปวงของเราก่อนหน้านี้เคยสงบลงในกายใจ เมื่อมาถึงป่าอันเปลี่ยวนี้; ทว่าเพราะพรากจากสีตา มันกลับลุกโชนขึ้นอีก—ดุจไฟที่พลันโพลงเมื่อถูกเติมด้วยฟืน

FAQs

Dharma is reflected as steadfast marital commitment: Sita’s absence is not a minor loss but a dharmic rupture that rekindles suffering. The verse teaches the seriousness of spousal duty and fidelity.

Rama explains that earlier grief had subsided during forest life, but Sita’s separation has reignited it intensely.

Conjugal devotion and constancy—Rama’s identity as a dharmic husband makes separation unbearable.
