तीर-वर्णनम् / Rama’s Lament at Pampa and the Approach to Rishyamuka
गच्छ लक्ष्मण पश्य त्वं भरतं भ्रातृवत्सलम्।न ह्यहं जीवितु शक्तस्तामृते जनकात्मजाम्।।।।
gaccha lakṣmaṇa paśya tvaṃ bharataṃ bhrātṛvatsalam | na hy ahaṃ jīvituṃ śaktas tām ṛte janakātmajām ||
Humayo ka, Lakshmana; tingnan mo si Bharata na tapat sa mga kapatid. Sapagkat hindi ako makabubuhay kung wala ang anak ni Janaka.
'You may go to Ayodhya, O Lakshmana, to see our loving brother, Bharata. It is not possible for me to survive without the daughter of Janaka'.
The verse binds two dharmas: fraternity (honoring Bharata’s brotherly devotion) and marital commitment (Rama’s life being ethically and emotionally anchored in Sita).
Rama instructs Lakshmana to go to Bharata, while confessing the extremity of his grief and dependence on Sita’s presence.
Bharata’s brotherly loyalty (bhrātṛvatsalatā) and Rama’s unwavering devotion to Sita.
