Ayodhyā-kāṇḍa
Chapter 36: Kaikeyī Forbids the King from Sending Wealth With Rāma
Text 2.36.26

इत्येनमत्यजद्राजा सगरो वै सुधार्मिकः।
रामः किमकरोत्पापं येनैवमुपरुध्यते।।

ity enam atyajad rājā sagaro vai sudhārmikaḥ
rāmaḥ kim akarot pāpaṁ yenaivam uparudhyate

iti = thus; enam = Asamañja; atyajat = abandoned; rājā = King; sagaraḥ vai = Sagara; sudhārmikaḥ = the very dhārmika; rāmaḥ = Rāma; kim = what; akarot = did do; pāpam = sin; yena = for which; evam = in this way; uparudhyate = He is being banished.

Thus the very dhārmika King Sagara abandoned Asamañja. What sin did Rāma do for which He is being banished in this way?
