उत्साहवन्तः पुरुषा नावसीदन्ति कर्मसु ।

उत्साहमात्रमाश्रित्य सीतां प्रतिलभेमहि ॥
 

People possessed of hope do not lose

heart in deeds. Relying on hope alone, we

shall certainly retrive Sita.
 

 
त्यज्यतां कामवृत्तत्वं शोकं सन्न्यस्य पृष्टतः ।

महात्मानं कृतात्मानमात्मानं नावबुध्यसे ॥
 
229
 

Abandon the amorous mood; putting

grief behind, why do you not perceive that

your self is a great and disciplined soul. "
 

 
एवं संबोधितस्तत्र शोकोपहतचेतनः ।

न्यस्य शोकं च मोहं च ततो धैर्यमुपागमत् ॥
 

Admonished thus, Rama, whose spirit had

been cast down by grief, abandoned both
grief and dep

grief and depres
sion and assumed courage.
 

 
सोऽभ्यतिकामदव्यग्रस्ता मचिन्त्यपराक्रमः ।

रामः पम्पां सुरुचिरां रम्यपारिप्लवद्रुमाम् ॥
 

Then Rama, of unimaginable prowess,

slowly crossed the Pampa lake which was

exceedingly delightful and full of fine trees

which waved in the wind.
