THE RAMAYANA
 
व्रीडितां दुःखसंतप्तां परिम्लानां तपस्विनीम् ।

ग्रहेणाङ्गारकेणेव पीडितामिव रोहिणीम् ॥
 

who was shrinking, anguished, fading

and of emaciated body, depressed and

pitiable like the Rohini star overpowered

by the planet Mars;
 

 
अश्रुपूर्णमुखीं दीनां कृशामनशनेन च ।

शोकध्यानपरां दीनां नित्यं दुःखपरायणाम् ॥
 

who was miserable with a face full of
 
account of want of
meditating on her
wholl

tears, emaciated on account of want of
nourishment, alwa
y as meditating on her
own grief and
bsoreing wholly abed in
 
tears, emaciated on
nourishment, always
own grief and
sorbeing
 
d in
it.
 

 
तस्य सन्दिदिहे बुद्धिर्मुहुः सीतां निरीक्ष्य तु ।

आम्नायानामयोगेन विद्यां प्रशिथिलामिव ॥
 

His mind still wavered, though he

repeatedly looked at her, who was like

learning divorced from practice.
 

 
दुःखेन बुबुधे सीतां हनुमाननलंकृताम् ।

संस्कारेण यथा हीनां वाचमर्थान्तरं गताम् ॥
 

As she was without ornament, Hanuman

made her out with difficulty, like speech
