50 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे अष्टात्रिंशः सर्गः ॥५-३८॥ ततः स कपिशार्दूलस्तेन वाक्येन तोषितः। सीतामुवाच तच्छ्रुत्वा वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundarakāṇḍa, this is the thirty-eighth canto. Then that tiger among monkeys, pleased by those words, after hearing that speech, spoke to Sītā, being skilled in speech.
युक्तरूपं त्वया देवि भाषितं शुभदर्शने। सदृशं स्त्रीस्वभावस्य साध्वीनां विनयस्य च॥ २॥
What you have said is appropriate, O goddess of auspicious appearance: it accords with the nature of women and with the modesty of virtuous women.
स्त्रीत्वान्न त्वं समर्थासि सागरं व्यतिवर्तितुम्। मामधिष्ठाय विस्तीर्णं शतयोजनमायतम्॥ ३॥
Because you are a woman, you are not able to cross the ocean, vast and extending for a hundred yojanas, mounted upon me.
द्वितीयं कारणं यच्च ब्रवीषि विनयान्विते। रामादन्यस्य नार्हामि संसर्गमिति जानकि॥ ४॥
And the second reason which you state, O you endowed with modesty: 'I am not fit for contact with any man other than Rāma'—thus, O Jānaki.
एतत् ते देवि सदृशं पत्न्यास्तस्य महात्मनः। का ह्यन्या त्वामृते देवि ब्रूयाद् वचनमीदृशम्॥ ५॥
This is fitting for you, goddess, as the wife of that great-souled man. What other woman besides you, goddess, would speak such a word?
