मूल पाठ सहायकReading aid for the sourceWord by word (पदच्छेद व अन्वय)पदच्छेद
A verse celebrating Rama's relationship with Sita (Janaki). Rama is Janaki's son (through adoption) and Janaki's husband. He is the creator (Brahma) himself. The verse plays on the ambiguity: is Rama the ornament of Sita's lineage, or is he the illumination that makes the lineage shine? The Ramayana teaches that the divine appears through sacred relationship — not in isolation but in connection.
जानकी का पुत्र दिव्य है; जानकी का पति स्वयं ब्रह्मा है। वह जानकी कुल का आभूषण है या जानकी कुल का प्रकाश।

जानकी का पुत्र दिव्य है; जानकी का पति स्वयं ब्रह्मा है। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
