[INDOLOGY] A distraction from the Coronavirus

[Christian Ferstl]

Coronavirus lockdown in the Dandaka Forest:

रामो व्यश्वासयत् सीतां मा भैषीर्जनकात्मजे ।
राक्षसा नागमिष्यन्ति ते ऽपि स्वगृहबद्धकाः ॥

Rama reassured Sita: “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Janaka!
The demons will not come. Even they are captive in their own houses.”
