Вообще - жуткая сцена. Пробирает особенно, когда дети плачут, руки протягивают.
Народ сильно Дебину хвалит. Отдадим ей должное!
Насчёт Гурмита все разделились на два лагеря: середины нет, или хвалят на ура или, в такой же степени, ругают.
Мне все понравились, особенно - дети.
Дети плачут, бабушки плачут, народ плачет, Рама (да что там, Гурмит - непередаваем).. Ох.
Мать Земля - молчит. Забрала Ситу и - вниз. Эх, не помирился ты со второй тёщей, Рамачандра!

читать дальшеValmiki guarantees that Sita is sinless. Everybody looks at Ram to see what decision he takes.
Ram folds his hands to Valmiki.
Ram - Rishivar, for Ram your words are God's words and truth. I know that Luv and Kush are my sons. My soul knows that the moment this Ram suspects his Sita will be the last moment of Ram's life.
Valmiki - Then what is the reason Raghunandan that even today devi Sita is standing before you like this?
Ram - Rajdharm. You know rishivar that a king's life is devoted to his people. So long even one Ayodhyavasi suspects Sita, their king cannot accept Sita.
Valmiki - If this is so, then Sita is ready to give the test of her chastity.
Kaushalya - Never. Sita will not give any test. This is the decision of Ayodhya's rajmata Kaushalya.
Kaikeyi - Enough. Our Sita has suffered a lot. We will not let her suffer any more. Ram, Sita is Ayodhya's Maharani and Sita will have to accept Sita.
Sumitra - Ram, when the husband does not suspect his wife, then how do the people come in between?
Kaushalya - This test is an insult to Sita's purity and I will not let that happen.
SIta - Ma, please do not be angry. If this is what my swami wants, then I am ready to take the oath. I will take the oath not because I have to prove my chastity and my devotion towards my husband but because I want my sons to get their lost right. I do not want that once again people question my sons' identity. I do not want that like me, they also face insults. I know that even if this matter is suberted today, then one day again a mother's honour will be put at stake.
Jivan ke sangharsh se Vaidehi gayi haar
Bhagn hriday lekar kare Bhagvati kare karun pukar
Visham paristhiti Sita ko is mod pe laayi hai
Bhumi ki beti sharan Bhumi se maangne aayi hai
Vidhna nahi samaaj hi iska uttardayi hai
Bhumi ki beti sharan Bhumi se maangne aayi hai
Sita - I, the daughter of Janak, take this oath in the presence of all the Ayodhyavasis that if, by heart, words and action, I have worshipped only my swami Raghunandan Sri Ram, then O mother Earth, give me room in your lap. O mother Earth, if I never thought of anybody other than my swami, then let me enter you this very moment, mother. If, every moment, all the eight pahars, I have thought of Raghunandan Sri Ram, then O mother Earth, take me in your protection. I am your daughter. I grew up playing in your lap. By your blessings, I got Raghunandan Sri Ram as my swami. Mother, your daughter is calling you. Listen to your daughter.
There are tides in the ocean. There is thunder. The Earth splits and mother Earth appears seated on a throne.
Sita - Ma, take me in your arms. Your daughter is tired giving one test after another. I do not have any more strength left. Take me in your aanchal.
Earth goddess spreads her arms affectionately. Sita moves towards her.
Everybody is crying. The rajmatas, Sita's sisters, her devars, Hanuman, Luv and Kush are in tears.Ramji also is finding it difficult to hold his tears now.
LK - Do not go, Ma. Do not leave us. Please stop. We cannot live without you. Please do not go. We do not want any right. We do not want anything.
Sita - You will have to take your right.
LK - Take us with you. We do not want to stay here.
Sita - Do not let my sacrifice go to waste. Your father and Ayodhya need your love. I am leaving you with your father. Obey your father. Remember that a father's place is supreme and it is the biggest duty of sons to serve him. (Vashishth and Vishwamitra nod in approval.) Promise me that you will not blame anybody for this sacrifice of mine. Promise me.
Luv and Kush nod.
Ayodhyavasis - Forgive us, Maharani. Do not punish us all for the sin of one.
(Idiots, why cry now?Angry)
Sita - I am not punishing anybody. Think that this is my fate. (To Ram)Swami, I pray only this much to God that whenever I am born on Earth, I get you as my husband and I am never rejected by you.
Ram - No Sita, you cannot reject me like this and go.
Sita - I am not rejecting anybody. I have always accepted everybody -you, mothers, Laxman, Bharat, Shatrughan bhaiya, everybody else. But now it is the time for me to go. Give me your blessings.
Sita sits on the throne besides mother Earth. The throne goes down and the ground again becomes level. Ram stands and screams Sita's name.
