Hồ Pampā được viền quanh bởi những lâm viên vui thú đang nở rộ, rực rỡ với cây sāla và campaka; ong bướm từng đàn vây phủ, huy hoàng với ánh sáng vô song; nước trong như pha lê, dồi dào mát lành, bờ trải dài cát mịn óng ánh. Thấy lại Pampā, ngát hương sen, Rāma—bậc dũng mãnh luôn gắn với chân thật—liền cất lời nói với Lakṣmaṇa.
There were lovely pleasure-gardens in full bloom filled with sal and champk trees. Honeybees on flowers looked lovely and bright. The waters were crystal-clear and fragrant with lotuses.The soft sands on the banks of Pampa gleamed. Rama saw them again and again and described them to Lakshmana.
Truth as the foundation of strength: the epithet satyavikrama highlights that righteous power is anchored in Satya, not mere force.
At Lake Pampā, Rāma repeatedly observes its beauty and fragrance and then begins speaking to Lakṣmaṇa.
Rāma’s satya-niṣṭhā (commitment to truth) and attentive, contemplative awareness of his surroundings.
