lakṣmaṇaṁ cānujānīhi sītā cānveti māṁ vanam
kāraṇair bahubhis tathyair vāryamāṇau na cecchataḥ
lakṣmaṇam = Lakṣmaṇa; ca = too; anujānīhi = please permit; sītā = Sītā; ca = also; anveti = is following; mām = Me; vanam = to the forest; kāraṇaiḥ = reasons; bahubhiḥ = for various; tathyaiḥ = excellent; vāryamāṇau = [though] I prevented them; na ca = not; icchataḥ = they do want [to stay here].
Please permit Lakṣmaṇa too. Sītā is also following Me to the forest. [Though] I prevented them for various excellent reasons, they do not want to stay here.1
