Sāvitrī’s Trirātra-Vrata and Departure with Satyavān (सावित्रीव्रतनिश्चयः सहगमनं च)
तस्य तत् सर्वमाचख्यौ सीताया लक्ष्मणो वच: । यदुक्तवत्यसदृशं वैदेही पश्चिमं वच:,तब लक्ष्मणने सीताकी वे सारी अनुचित एवं आक्षेपपूर्ण बातें, जिन्हें उन्होंने अन्तमें कहा था, कह सुनायीं
tasya tat sarvam ācakhyau sītāyā lakṣmaṇo vacaḥ | yad uktavaty asadṛśaṃ vaidehī paścimaṃ vacaḥ ||
于是罗什曼那将悉多所说的一切尽数禀告罗摩——尤其是毗提诃女最后那几句不相称、带着指责的话。

The verse underscores the ethical weight of speech: in distress one may utter words that are 'asadṛśa' (unbecoming), and such speech—especially accusatory or improper—becomes significant enough to be reported and judged within a dharma framework.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that Lakṣmaṇa recounts to Rāma everything Sītā said, emphasizing her final, improper and reproachful remarks—setting the emotional and moral tension of the episode.
