शरत्प्रवेशे रामविलापः तथा सुग्रीवप्रमादे लक्ष्मणप्रेषणम्
Autumn’s Onset: Rama’s Lament and Lakshmana Sent to Sugriva
वर्षासमयकालं तु प्रतिज्ञाय हरीश्वरः।व्यतीतांश्चतुरो मासान्विहरन्नावबुध्यते।।
varṣāsamayakālaṃ tu pratijñāya harīśvaraḥ |
vyatītāṃś caturō māsān viharann āvabudhyate ||
Chúa tể loài khỉ đã thề sẽ hành động sau mùa mưa; vậy mà bốn tháng đã trôi qua, hắn vẫn vui chơi hưởng lạc, chẳng hề hay biết.
'Having promised (to search for Sita) after the rainy season,Sugriva is not aware that he has (already) spent the four months-revelling.
A vow is not merely spoken—it is time-bound responsibility; negligence and indulgence violate satya and duty.
Lakshmana notes that the agreed waiting period (monsoon) is over and Sugriva has wasted four months in enjoyment.
Discipline and punctuality in fulfilling commitments.
