Saramā Consoles Sītā; Preparations in Laṅkā
गिरिवरमभितोऽनुवर्तमानोहयइवमण्डलमाशुयःकरोति ।तमिहशरणमभ्युपैहिदेवंदिवसकरंप्रभवोह्ययंप्रजानाम् ।।।।
girivaram abhito 'nuvartamāno haya iva maṇḍalam āśu yaḥ karoti |
tam iha śaraṇam abhyupaihi devaṃ divasakaraṃ prabhavo hy ayaṃ prajānām ||
یہیں دیوتا سورَیَ کے شरण میں جا؛ جو عظیم پہاڑ کے گرد گھوڑے کی مانند تیزی سے اپنا چکر پورا کرتا ہے، کیونکہ وہی واقعی تمام جانداروں کا سرچشمہ اور پالنے والا ہے۔
"O Broadeyed friend! You are constantly under fear (timid). Give up fear of Ravana, I have overheard all that you have spoken to Ravana and his reply by hiding in a secret place out of my affection, without caring for my life."
Dharma includes śaraṇāgati (seeking rightful refuge): turning the mind toward a sustaining cosmic order (Sūrya) to remain steady in truth amid fear.
Saramā advises Sītā to seek the Sun-god’s protection and steadiness while she awaits the outcome of the war.
Spiritual resilience—Sītā is guided toward devotion as a means to preserve courage and clarity.
