Sumantra’s Return to Ayodhya and the Palace’s Lament
दानयज्ञविवाहेषु समाजेषु महत्सु च।न द्रक्ष्यामः पुन र्जातु धार्मिकं राममन्तरा।।।।
dāna-yajña-vivāheṣu samājeṣu mahatsu ca | na drakṣyāmaḥ punar jātu dhārmikaṃ rāmam antarā ||
在布施、祭祀、婚礼以及盛大的集会之中，我们将永不再见到那位正法的罗摩在我们中间。
No longer will we see Rama at sacrifices, weddings, great assemblies and at places of charitable activity.
