दृष्ट्वा देवानृषींश्चैव राघवः पुनरब्रवीत्। प्रत्ययो मे नरश्रेष्ठ ऋषिवाक्यैरकल्मषैः।।।।। शुद्धायां जगतो मध्ये वैदेह्यां प्रीतिरस्तु मे। सीताशपथसंभ्रान्ताः सर्व एव समागताः॥
dṛṣṭvā devānṛṣīṃścaiva rāghavaḥ punarabravīt| pratyayo me naraśreṣṭha ṛṣivākyairakalmaṣaiḥ||||| śuddhāyāṃ jagato madhye vaidehyāṃ prītirastu me| sītāśapathasaṃbhrāntāḥ sarva eva samāgatāḥ||
English Meaning
And beholding the celestials and Rșis assembled there Rama again said to Vālmīki:-O foremost of Munis, the words, of the highsouled Rsis, are divested of sin; therefore on your words only I shall consider Sītā as having pure ways. Still all have come here being anxious to witness Sītā's trial. I shall therefore be greatly delighted if Janaki gives in before them any testimony of her pure character.
