Sanskrit · 3.58.p08971

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे अष्टपञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥३-५८॥ स दृष्ट्वा लक्ष्मणं दीनं शून्यं दशरथात्मजः। पर्यपृच्छत धर्मात्मा वैदेहीमागतं विना॥ १॥

English · Meaning

In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya Kāṇḍa, this is the fifty-eighth canto. Having seen Lakṣmaṇa distressed and desolate, the righteous son of Daśaratha questioned him about Vaidehī, with the transmitted phrase “āgataṃ vinā” literally meaning “without [her] having come”; in context, it conveys the question about Vaidehī’s absence. (1)
