उवाच पुरुषव्याघ्रमुपशृण्वति लक्ष्मणे ।
Afflicted with grief though accustomed
to pleasure, she said to Raghava who
was seated near, while Lakshmana was
listening :
यदि पुत्र न जायेथा मम शोकाय राघव ।
न स्म दुःखमतो भूयः पश्येयमहमप्रजाः ॥

' Q Raghava, my son, if you had not
been born to my sorrow, I should certainly
not know greater distress than this by
being childless.
एक एव हि वन्ध्यायाः शोको भवति मानसः ।
अ
For, the barren woman has only one
sorrow in her heart-'I am childless', O
Son, there is no other affliction for her.
न दृष्टपूर्वं कल्याणं सुखं वा पतिपौरुषे ।
अपि पुत्रे तु पश्येयमिति रामास्थितं मया ॥
O Rama, no auspicious event has been
witnessed by me so far, nor any happi-
ness because of my husband's greatness.
