शाल्मल्यः किंशुकाश्चैव रक्ताः कुरवकास्तथा।।4.1.81।।त्रिनिशा नक्तमालाश्च चन्दनास्स्यन्दनास्तथा।
śālmalyaḥ kiṃśukāś caiva raktāḥ kuravakās tathā |
triniśā naktamālāś ca candanāḥ syandanās tathā ||
Naroon ang mga punong śālmali at kiṃśuka, at ang mapupulang bulaklak ng kuravaka; naroon din ang triniśā at naktamālā, kasama ang mabangong punong-sandal at ang mga punong syandana.
Dharma is reflected as steadiness in truthful speech and mindful attention. The epic repeatedly ties righteous conduct to clarity of observation and sincerity rather than exaggeration.
Rāma continues describing the spring landscape around Kiṣkindhā/Pampā to Lakṣmaṇa, listing prominent flowering and fragrant trees.
Truthfulness (satya) expressed as precise description and calm communication.
