36 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे एकविंशः सर्गः ॥५-२१॥ तस्य तद् वचनं श्रुत्वा सीता रौद्रस्य रक्षसः। आर्ता दीनस्वरा दीनं प्रत्युवाच ततः शनैः॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundara-kāṇḍa, the twenty-first canto, section 5.21. Having heard that speech of the terrible Rākṣasa, Sītā, distressed and with a piteous voice, replied sorrowfully, then slowly.
दुःखार्ता रुदती सीता वेपमाना तपस्विनी। चिन्तयन्ती वरारोहा पतिमेव पतिव्रता॥ २॥
Sītā, distressed with sorrow, weeping, trembling, austere, noble-limbed, a devoted wife, thinking only of her husband, [stood/was there].
तृणमन्तरतः कृत्वा प्रत्युवाच शुचिस्मिता। निवर्तय मनो मत्तः स्वजने प्रीयतां मनः॥ ३॥
Having placed a blade of grass between them, the pure-smiling woman replied: “Turn your mind away from me; let your mind delight in your own people.”
न मां प्रार्थयितुं युक्तस्त्वं सिद्धिमिव पापकृत्। अकार्यं न मया कार्यमेकपत्न्या विगर्हितम्॥ ४॥
You are not fit to solicit me, just as a sinner is not fit for success. What ought not to be done is not to be done by me, a woman devoted to one husband—[such an act is] condemned.
कुलं सम्प्राप्तया पुण्यं कुले महति जातया। एवमुक्त्वा तु वैदेही रावणं तं यशस्विनी॥ ५॥
Having thus spoken, that illustrious Vaidehī—who had come into a noble family and had been born in a great family—[addressed] that Rāvaṇa.
