कर्ता सर्वस्य लोकस्य श्रेष्ठो ज्ञानविदां विभुः। उपेक्षसे कथं सीतां पतन्ती हव्यवाहने।। कथं देवगणश्रेष्ठमात्मानं नावबुद्ध्यसे॥
kartā sarvasya lokasya śreṣṭho jñānavidāṃ vibhuḥ| upekṣase kathaṃ sītāṃ patantī havyavāhane|| kathaṃ devagaṇaśreṣṭhamātmānaṃ nāvabuddhyase||
English Meaning
O lord, you are the preserver of all the worlds and the foremost of the wise, why did you neglect Sītā entering into fire? Why did you not understand yourself the foremost of the celestials?
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
