Araṇya-kāṇḍa
Chapter 4: Rāma Buries Virādha
Text 3.4.2
एष दाशरथी रामः सत्यवाञ्छीलवाञ्छुचिः।
रक्षसा रौद्ररूपेण ह्रियते सहलक्ष्मणः॥
eṣa dāśarathī rāmaḥ satyavāñ chīlavāñ chuciḥ
rakṣasā raudra-rūpeṇa hriyate saha-lakṣmaṇaḥ
eṣaḥ = this; dāśarathī = son of Daśaratha; rāmaḥ = Rāma; satyavān = is truthful; śīlavān = and endowed with good conduct; śuciḥ = and pure; rakṣasā = by the rākṣasa; raudra-rūpeṇa = of terrifying appearance; hriyate = are being carried off; saha-lakṣmaṇaḥ = and Lakṣmaṇa.
Rāma is truthful, and endowed with good conduct and pure. This son of Daśaratha and Lakṣmaṇa are being carried off by a rākṣasa whose appearance is terrifying.
Sītā-devī cries out to Providence in this verse.
Rāma is pure, that is, He is honest [even] in thought.1
In the next verse, she cries out to Virādha.
