THE RAMAYANA
O vanquisher of foes, they are capable
of carrying out what you desire. O best of
men, say what you consider appropriate to
the season."
तथा ब्रुवाणं सुग्रीवं रामो दशरथात्मजः ।
बाहुभ्यां संपरिष्वज्य इदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
Rama, the son of Dasaratha, embraced
with his hands Sugriva who spoke thus and
then said these words :
ज्ञायतां मम वैदेही यदि जीवति वा न वा ।
स च देशो महाप्राज्ञ यस्मिन् वसति रावणः ॥
"Let it be ascertained whether my Sita,
(the daughter of Janaka, king of the
Videhas) lives or not. O wise one; also the
country where Ravana lives.
अधिगम्य तु वैदेहीं निलये रावणस्य च ।
प्राप्तकालं विधास्यामि तस्मिन् काले सह त्वया ॥
After knowing about Sita and the abode
of Ravana, I shall then, together with you,
do what is suited to the time.
नाहमस्मिन् प्रभुः कार्ये वानरेश न लक्ष्मणः ।
त्वमस्य हेतुः कार्यस्य प्रभुश्च प्लवगेश्वर ॥
