40 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे त्रयस्त्रिंशः सर्गः ॥६-३३॥ सीतां तु मोहितां दृष्ट्वा सरमा नाम राक्षसी। आससादाथ वैदेहीं प्रियां प्रणयिनी सखीम्॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa, this is the thirty-third canto. Seeing Sītā bewildered, the rākṣasī named Saramā approached Vaidehī, her dear and affectionate friend.
मोहितां राक्षसेन्द्रेण सीतां परमदुःखिताम्। आश्वासयामास तदा सरमा मृदुभाषिणी॥ २॥
Then Saramā, the soft-speaking one, comforted Sītā, who had been bewildered by the lord of the rākṣasas and was extremely sorrowful.
सा हि तत्र कृता मित्रं सीतया रक्ष्यमाणया। रक्षन्ती रावणादिष्टा सानुक्रोशा दृढव्रता॥ ३॥
For there she had been made a friend by Sītā, who was being guarded; guarding her, appointed by Rāvaṇa, compassionate, and firm in her vow.
सा ददर्श सखी सीतां सरमा नष्टचेतनाम्। उपावृत्योत्थितां ध्वस्तां वडवामिव पांसुषु॥ ४॥
She—Saramā, Sītā’s friend—saw Sītā, whose consciousness had been lost, having risen after turning away, disheveled like a mare in the dust.
तां समाश्वासयामास सखीस्नेहेन सुव्रताम्। समाश्वसिहि वैदेहि मा भूत् ते मनसो व्यथा। उक्ता यद् रावणेन त्वं प्रयुक्तश्च स्वयं त्वया॥ ५॥
She comforted that virtuous woman with the affection of a friend: “Take heart, Vaidehi; let anguish of mind not be yours. Whatever was spoken to you by Ravana, and whatever was enacted by you yourself—[the transmitted wording of the final clause is syntactically uncertain].”
