SUNDARAKANDA
स मुहूर्तमित्र ध्यात्वा मनसा चाधिगम्य ताम् ।
'अवप्लुतो महातेजाः प्राकारं तस्य वेश्मनः ॥
After meditating for a while and com-
prehending her with his mind, Hanuman
of great brilliance leapt from that
mansion into an enclosure.
अशोकवनिकायां तु तस्यां वानरपुङ्गवः ।
ददर्श शुक्लपक्षादौ चन्द्ररेखामिवामलाम् ॥

And in the Asoka forest, the foremost
of monkeys saw her like the spotless ray
of the moon in the beginning of the
bright half of the month;
मन्दं प्रख्यायमानेन रूपेण रुचिरप्रभाम् ।
पिनद्धां धूमजालेन शिखामिव विभावसोः ॥
who was shining in lustre though her
form was but slowly recognisable, like a
flame of fire enveloped in a cloud of
smoke;
पीतेनैकेन संवीतां क्लिष्टेनोत्तमवाससा ।
सपकामनलङ्कारां विपद्मामिव पद्मिनीम् ॥
who was clad in a fine but tattered
yellow cloth and, being dirty and devoid
of ornaments, looked like a lotus tank
devoid of lotuses;
