मन्दाकिनीनदीदर्शनम्
The Vision of the Mandākinī at Citrakūṭa
अब्रवीच्च वरारोहां चारुचन्द्रनिभाननाम्।विदेहराजस्य सुतां रामो राजीवलोचनः।।।।
abravīc ca varārohāṃ cārucandranibhānanām | videharājasya sutāṃ rāmo rājīvalocanaḥ ||
تب کنول نین رام نے ویدیہ راج کی بیٹی سیتا سے—جو نازک اندام اور چہرہ چاند کی مانند دلکش تھا—کلام فرمایا۔
O my auspicious Sita, sweet-voiced Chakravaka birds singing in most pleasant tones are alighting on those heaps of flowers.
Dharma here is expressed as maryādā (respectful conduct) in relationships: Rāma addresses Sītā with honor and tenderness, reflecting righteous, considerate speech.
During the forest sojourn near Citrakūṭa and the Mandākinī, Rāma begins speaking to Sītā, setting up his appreciative description of the place and their life there.
Rāma’s gentleness and relational integrity—he treats Sītā as a respected partner even amid hardship.
