Withdrawal of the Coronation: Rama’s Counsel to Lakshmana
न लक्ष्मणास्मिन्खलु कर्मविघ्नेमाता यवीयस्यतिशङ्कनीया।दैवाभिपन्ना हि वदत्यनिष्टंजानासि दैवं च तथा प्रभावम्।।।।
na lakṣmaṇāsmin khalu karma-vighne mātā yavīyasī atiśaṅkanīyā | daivābhipannā hi vadaty aniṣṭaṃ jānāsi daivaṃ ca tathā prabhāvam ||
拉克什玛那啊，在此行事受阻之际，不应过分猜疑我们那位年少的母后。她为命运所制，才说出不悦之言——你也知道，命运之力何其强盛。
Let my father who is always truthful, who is really valiant, who is always striving for truth and who is afraid of the next world, be fearless.
