सीताहरण
विलापः / The Lament at Jatāyu and the Abduction of Sītā
सुप्रवेपितगात्राश्च बभूवुर्वनदेवताः।।।।विक्रोशन्तीं दृढं सीतां दृष्ट्वा दुःखं तथा गताम्।
supravēpita-gātrāś ca babhūvur vana-devatāḥ |
vikrōśantīṃ dṛḍhaṃ sītāṃ dṛṣṭvā duḥkhaṃ tathā gatām ||
جنگل کی دیویاں سراپا کانپ اٹھیں؛ سیتا کو سخت چیختے اور ایسے غم میں ڈوبے دیکھ کر وہ بھی لرز گئیں۔
The ten headed Ravana abducted Sita who was calling out, O Rama, O Lakshmana with her sweet voice, weeping , looking down on the earth her hair dishevelled and auspicious, (vermilion) mark on the forehead erased. Ravana abducted this highminded Sita for his own destruction.
Dharma is presented as something upheld and recognized by divine and natural orders; their trembling signals that adharma provokes moral shock across realms.
Sītā’s cries and suffering during abduction cause even the forest deities to react with fear and grief.
Sītā’s steadfastness in calling out for help (and not consenting), reinforcing her integrity amid coercion.
