गोदावरीतटे सीतान्वेषणम्
The Search for Sītā at the Godāvarī
एवं सम्भाषमाणौ तावन्योन्यं भ्रातरावुभौ।।।।वसुन्धरायां पतितं पुष्पमार्गमपश्यताम्।
evaṃ sambhāṣamāṇau tāv anyonyaṃ bhrātarāv ubhau | vasundharāyāṃ patitaṃ puṣpamārgam apaśyatām ||
یوں دونوں بھائی آپس میں باتیں کرتے ہوئے چل رہے تھے کہ انہوں نے زمین پر گرے ہوئے پھولوں کی ایک راہ—پھولوں کا نشان—دیکھ لیا۔
Talking with each other, the two brothers took the path on earth strewn with flowers.
Dharma is the disciplined pursuit of truth: they remain alert to evidence and follow signs patiently, turning observation into purposeful action.
While searching, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa discover a trail of flowers on the ground—an important clue connected to Sītā.
Attentiveness and perseverance in adversity.
