Yuddha Kaanda - Sarga 48
In this Sarga, Seetā cries pitiably on seeing Rāma and Lakshmaṇa lying in the battle-field, slain. She wonders how the prophesy of all those wise men who are well-versed in reading body marks could go in vain. She is puzzled at her fate, as she knows of no birth marks on her that portend widowhood for her. She thinks of her mother-in-law who eagerly awaits the return of her son along with Lakshmaṇa and Seetā.
Trijaṭa consoles Seetā, asserting that the brothers are still alive. She says that the army would not be as composed as it was, if their chief is slain. She points to the army, which is neither confounded nor agitated, but is carefully protecting the brothers. She asks Seetā to carefully note the signs of life on the faces of Rāma and Lakshmaṇa. Seetā wishes that Trijata’s words be true. Trijaṭa takes Seetā back in the Pushpaka to the Aṡōka pleasance.

In this Sarga, Seetā cries pitiably on seeing Rāma and Lakshmaṇa lying in the battle-field, slain. She wonders how the prophesy of all those wise men who are well-versed in reading body marks could go in vain. She is puzzled at her fate, as she knows of no birth marks on her that portend widowhood for her. She thinks of her mother-in-law who eagerly awaits the return of her son along with Lakshmaṇa and Seetā.
Trijaṭa consoles Seetā, asserting that the brothers are still alive. She says that the army would not be as composed as it was, if their chief is slain. She points to the army, which is neither confounded nor agitated, but is carefully protecting the brothers. She asks Seetā to carefully note the signs of life on the faces of Rāma and Lakshmaṇa. Seetā wishes that Trijata’s words be true. Trijaṭa takes Seetā back in the Pushpaka to the Aṡōka pleasance.

நிஹதௌ ராமலக்ஷ்மணௌ ॥
adṛṡyamānēna raṇē
māyayā vāsavōpamau ।
mama nāthāvanāthāyā
nihatau rāmalakṣmaṇau ॥
Rāma and Lakshmaṇa, who were comparable to Indra,
have been slain by the use of trickery
and by making oneself invisible in the battle-field.
My protectors leave me now unprotected.

For no enemy, even if he were as swift as the mind,
could escape alive once fallen into the
line of sight of Rāghava in the battle-field.

Death is invincible and nothing
seems to be too heavy for Time to bear,
from the fact that Rāma, along with his brother,
lies slain in battle.

I do not grieve for myself,
for Rāma, for Lakshmaṇa of immense strength,
or for my own mother so much as I do
for my long-suffering mother-in-law.
