Aranya Kand Verse 30

अरण्यकाण्ड · रावण-कुमंत्रणा, मारीच-वध एवं सीता-हरण
Verse · मूल पाठ (Devanagari)
जेहि बिधि कपट कुरंग सँग धाइ चले श्रीराम।
      सो छबि सीता राखि उर रटति रहति हरिनाम ॥ २९(ख) ॥
Roman (IAST)
jehi bidhi kapaṭa kuraṃga sa~ga dhāi cale śrīrāma|
      so chabi sītā rākhi ura raṭati rahati harināma || 29(kha) ||
Simple transliteration
jehi bidhi kapata kuramga sa~ga dhai cale shrirama
      so chabi sita rakhi ura ratati rahati harinama  29(kha) 
Meaning (English)

This brief sub-doha encapsulates Sita's inner state in captivity: just as Ram had run after the deceptive golden deer, Sita kept that very image of her Lord — running, bow in hand — fixed in her heart, and continued to repeat Hari's name unceasingly, sustaining herself through separation by that remembered vision.

Meaning (Hindi) · भावार्थ

यह एक लघु सोरठा है जिसमें सीता की मनःस्थिति का सार है: जिस प्रकार कपट-मृग के पीछे श्रीराम दौड़ते चले गए थे, उसी दौड़ते हुए प्रभु की छबि को सीता ने अपने हृदय में बसाए रखा और हरिनाम की रट लगाती रहीं।
