English Commentary
On hearing the voice in distress and recognising that it was similar to her husband's voice, Sita said to Lakshmana, 'Go and find out Rama's whereabouts'. There at the hermitage Sita asks Lakshmana to rush to Rama's help Lakshmana resists, stating Rama needs no help--Sita lashes at Lakshmana in harsh words.
