Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa 12th Sarga - 65


 जय श्रीराम!


स प्राप हृदयन्यस्तमणिस्पर्शनिमीलितः । 
अपयोधरसंसर्गां प्रियालिङ्गननिर्वृतिम् ॥१२.६५॥


Notes: Kālidāsa says," Śrīrāma then clasped close to his bosom that crest jewel of Sītā, and lost himself in the joyous emotion of virtually embracing his beloved Sītā, despite the missing embrace of her bosom."

Anyone who reads the epic would sense the deep love and comprehensive connubial relationship between Śrīrāma and Sītā, something Destiny twisted in so many ways over their lifetime.
