शबरी-आश्रम-प्रवेशः
Rama and Lakshmana at Sabari’s Hermitage
दनोस्सकाशात्तत्त्वेन प्रभावं ते महात्मनः।श्रुतं प्रत्यक्षमिच्छामि सन्द्रष्टुं यदि मन्यसे।।।।
danoḥ sakāśāt tattvena prabhāvaṃ te mahātmanaḥ | śrutaṃ pratyakṣam icchāmi sandraṣṭuṃ yadi manyase ||
اے عظیم النفس، میں نے دَنو سے حقیقتاً تمہاری روحانی قدرت کا حال سنا ہے؛ اگر تم مناسب سمجھو تو میں اسے اپنی آنکھوں سے براہِ راست دیکھنا چاہتا ہوں۔
Observing the trees loaded with honey-sweet fruits on the mountain, Rama and Lakshmana went to see Sugriva.
Truth-seeking with humility: Rama asks for direct understanding while respecting consent, aligning inquiry with satya and restraint.
Rama tells Śabarī he has heard of her power/attainment (via Danu) and asks to witness it.
Rama’s respectful inquiry and commitment to सत्य (satya)—seeking firsthand clarity rather than mere hearsay.
