पद्मपुराणे

उन स्वामीके निःस्नेह होने पर आपके लिए कहीं कोई शरण नहीं जान पड़ता ॥१११।। हे देवि ! तेरे लिए न माता शरण है, न भाई शरण है, और न कुटुम्बीजनोंका समूह ही शरण है। इस समय तो तेरे लिए मृगोंसे व्याप्त यह वन ही शरण है ॥११२।।

In the Padma Purana,
Neither Savitri, nor a brother, nor a group of relatives. This forest, filled with deer, is your refuge now, O Devi. ||112||
Hearing your words, she was struck like by a thunderbolt. Filled with sorrow in her heart, she was overcome by delusion. ||113||
With great difficulty, regaining consciousness, with faltering words, she spoke, asking, "Grant me a glimpse of my Lord, even once." ||114||
He replied, "O Devi, that city is now far away. How can you see the Lord, who gives harsh commands?" ||115||
Then, with streams of tears washing her lotus face, though overwhelmed by the nectar of love, she spoke. ||116||
"O Commander, convey this message to Rama from me: O Lord, do not be saddened by my abandonment." ||117||
"O Great Soul, relying on supreme fortitude, always protect your subjects, just like a father, a lover of justice." ||118||
For just as people always desire the moon of the autumn season, so too do people desire a king who has attained the pinnacle of arts and is the cause of joy. ||119||
Be worthy of worshipping that Right-Vision, by which noble beings are liberated from the terrible cycle of birth and death, filled with sorrow. ||120||
O Rama, that Right-Vision is considered more valuable than even an empire, for an empire may perish, but Right-Vision bestows lasting happiness. ||121||
O Best of Men, do not abandon that Right-Vision, even if you are frightened by the disgust of the unworthy, for it is extremely rare. ||122||
A jewel that falls into the ocean, once held in the palm of the hand, can be retrieved by what means? ||123||
A child, throwing the fruit of immortality into a well, filled with great danger, suffers extreme sorrow, filled with regret. ||124||
He who is like that, speaks as he pleases, without restraint. For who can silence the mouth of this world? ||125||
You have no refuge, knowing that your master is without affection. ||111||
O Devi! For you, neither your mother is a refuge, nor your brother, nor your family. At this time, this forest, filled with deer, is your only refuge. ||112||
After that, Sita, hearing his words, was filled with sorrow in her heart, struck like by a thunderbolt, and was overcome by delusion. ||113||
With great difficulty, regaining consciousness, with faltering words, she spoke, asking, "Grant me a glimpse of my Lord, even once." ||114||
In response, Krtaantavaktra said, "O Devi! That city is now far away, so how can you see the Lord, who gives harsh commands?" ||115||
Then, Sita, though washing her lotus face with streams of tears, overwhelmed by the nectar of love, spoke. ||116||
"O Commander! Convey this message to Rama from me: O Lord! Do not be saddened by my abandonment." ||117||
"O Great Soul! Relying on supreme fortitude, always protect your subjects, just like a father, a lover of justice." ||118||
For just as people always desire the moon of the autumn season, so too do people desire a king who has attained the pinnacle of arts and is the cause of joy. ||119||
