2.27.1
एवमुक्ता तु वैदेही प्रियार्हा प्रियवादिनी।
प्रणयादेव संक्रुद्धा भर्तारमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ २.२७.१ ॥
Thus addressed, Vaidehī Sītā, worthy of love and sweet of speech, greatly provoked out of sheer affection, spoke these words to her husband.
2.27.2
किमिदं भाषसे राम वाक्यं लघुतया ध्रुवम्।
त्वया यदपहास्यं मे श्रुत्वा नरवरोत्तम ॥ २.२७.२ ॥
Rāma, why do you speak like this? Best of men, these words of yours surely come from lightness of mind, and hearing them I would be made a laughingstock.
2.27.3
वीराणां राजपुत्राणां शस्त्रास्त्रविदुषां नृप।
अनर्हमयशस्यं च न श्रोतव्यं त्वयेरितम् ॥ २.२७.३ ॥
O king, these words you have spoken are unfitting for heroic princes skilled in weapons and missiles, bringing disgrace; they ought not even to be heard.
2.27.4
आर्यपुत्र पिता माता भ्राता पुत्रस्तथा स्नुषा।
स्वानि पुण्यानि भुञ्जानाः स्वं स्वं भाग्यमुपासते ॥ २.२७.४ ॥
Noble husband, father, mother, brother, son and daughter-in-law each enjoy their own merits and depend upon their own fortune.
2.27.5
भर्तुर्भाग्यं तु नार्येका प्राप्नोति पुरुषर्षभ।
अतश्चैवाहमादिष्टा वने वस्तव्यमित्यपि ॥ २.२७.५ ॥
O bull among men, a woman alone does not obtain her husband's fortune; therefore I too am ordered to dwell in the forest.
2.27.6
न पिता नात्मजो वात्मा न माता न सखीजनः।
इह प्रेत्य च नारीणां पतिरेको गतिः सदा ॥ २.२७.६ ॥
Neither father, nor son, nor self, nor mother, nor female friends; in this world and in the next, for women the husband alone is always the one refuge.
2.27.7
यदि त्वं प्रस्थितो दुर्गं वनमद्यैव राघव।
अग्रतस्ते गमिष्यामि मृद्नन्ती कुशकण्टकान् ॥ २.२७.७ ॥
O Rāghava, if you set out today for the difficult forest, I will walk ahead of you, trampling the kuśa grass and its thorns.
2.27.8
ईर्ष्यां रोषं बहिष्कृत्य भुक्तशेषमिवोदकम्।
नय मां वीर विस्रब्धः पापं मयि न विद्यते ॥ २.२७.८ ॥
O hero, casting off jealousy and anger as one discards water left after drinking, take me with you in trust; no wrong is found in me.
2.27.9
प्रासादाग्रे विमानैर्वा वैहायसगतेन वा।
सर्वावस्थागता भर्तुः पादच्छाया विशिष्यते ॥ २.२७.९ ॥
Whether on the summit of a palace, in aerial chariots, or travelling through the sky, in every condition the shadow of a husband's feet is far superior.
2.27.10
अनुशिष्टास्मि मात्रा च पित्रा च विविधाश्रयम्।
नास्मि सम्प्रति वक्तव्या वर्तितव्यं यथा मया ॥ २.२७.१० ॥
My mother and father have instructed me concerning the various refuges; now there is no need for anyone to tell me, and I shall conduct myself as I ought.
2.27.11
अहं दुर्गं गमिष्यामि वनं पुरुषवर्जितम्।
नानामृगगणाकीर्णं शार्दूलगणसेवितम् ॥ २.२७.११ ॥
I shall go to that difficult forest, empty of men, crowded with many herds of deer, and frequented by bands of tigers.
2.27.12
सुखं वने निवत्स्यामि यथैव भवने पितुः।
अचिन्तयन्ती त्रीँल्लोकांश्चिन्तयन्ती पतिव्रतम् ॥ २.२७.१२ ॥
As happily as I lived in my father's house, I shall dwell happily in the forest, not troubled by the three worlds, but thinking only of my vow of devotion to my husband.
2.27.13
शुश्रूषमाणा ते नित्यं नियता ब्रह्मचारिणी।
सह रंस्ये त्वया वीर वनेषु मधुगन्धिषु ॥ २.२७.१३ ॥
O hero, always attending you, self-restrained and observing the vow of chastity, I shall delight with you in the forests fragrant with honey.

अन्यस्यापि जनस्येह किं पुनर्मम मानद ॥ २.२७.१४ ॥
O Rāma, you are able to give full protection even to another person here in the forest; O giver of honor, how much more so to me.
2.27.15
साहं त्वया गमिष्यामि वनमद्य न संशयः।
नाहं शक्या महाभाग निवर्तयितुमुद्यता ॥ २.२७.१५ ॥
I shall surely go with you to the forest today, without doubt; O greatly fortunate one, I am resolved and cannot be turned back.
2.27.16
फलमूलाशना नित्यं भविष्यामि न संशयः।
न ते दुःखं करिष्यामि निवसन्ती त्वया सदा ॥ २.२७.१६ ॥
I shall always live on fruits and roots, without doubt; dwelling with you, I shall never cause you sorrow.
2.27.17
अग्रतस्ते गमिष्यामि भोक्ष्ये भुक्तवति त्वयि।
इच्छामि परतः शैलान् पल्वलानि सरांसि च ॥ २.२७.१७ ॥
I shall walk ahead of you and eat only after you have eaten; I wish to go beyond the mountains, pools and lakes.
2.27.18
द्रष्टुं सर्वत्र निर्भीता त्वया नाथेन धीमता।
हंसकारण्डवाकीर्णाः पद्मिनीः साधुपुष्पिताः ॥ २.२७.१८ ॥
With you, a wise protector, I wish to see everywhere without fear the lotus ponds, thronged with swans and ducks, finely in flower.
2.27.19
इच्छेयं सुखिनी द्रष्टुं त्वया वीरेण संगता।
अभिषेकं करिष्यामि तासु नित्यमनुव्रता ॥ २.२७.१९ ॥
Happy I would wish to see them with you, hero; there, always following you, I will bathe in them.
2.27.20
सह त्वया विशालाक्ष रंस्ये परमनन्दिनी।
एवं वर्षसहस्राणि शतं वापि त्वया सह ॥ २.२७.२० ॥
With you, broad-eyed one, I will delight in supreme joy; thus for thousands of years, or even a hundred, together with you.
2.27.21
व्यतिक्रमं न वेत्स्यामि स्वर्गोऽपि हि न मे मतः।
स्वर्गेऽपि च विना वासो भविता यदि राघव।
त्वया विना नरव्याघ्र नाहं तदपि रोचये ॥ २.२७.२१ ॥
I shall not know separation from you; even heaven is not desired by me. Rāghava, if dwelling even in heaven would be without you, best of men, I would not desire that either.
2.27.22
अहं गमिष्यामि वनं सुदुर्गमं
मृगायुतं वानरवारणैश्च।
वने निवत्स्यामि यथा पितुर्गृहे
तवैव पादावुपगृह्य सम्मता ॥ २.२७.२२ ॥
I shall go to the forest, most difficult to traverse, full of thousands of deer, monkeys and elephants; and there I shall dwell as in my father's house, clasping your feet, honored by you.
2.27.23
अनन्यभावामनुरक्तचेतसं
त्वया वियुक्तां मरणाय निश्चिताम्।
नयस्व मां साधु कुरुष्व याचनां
नातो मया ते गुरुता भविष्यति ॥ २.२७.२३ ॥
Having no other thought, my mind devoted to you, resolved on death if separated from you — take me with you, I beg; grant this request well, and I shall not be a burden to you.
2.27.24
तथा ब्रुवाणामपि धर्मवत्सलां
न च स्म सीतां नृवरो निनीषति।
उवाच चैनां बहु संनिवर्तने
वने निवासस्य च दुःखितां प्रति ॥ २.२७.२४ ॥
Though Sītā, devoted to dharma, spoke thus, the best of men did not wish to take her with him. Mindful of the hardships of living in the forest, he said much to the distressed Sītā about turning back.
