SUNDARAKANDA
 
एवं सीतां तदा दृष्ट्वा हृष्टः पवनसंभवः ।
जगाम मनसा राम प्रशशंस च तं प्रभुम् ॥
 
Thus, the son of Vayu, delighted at
seeing Sita there, thought of Rama in his
mind and praised his master.
 
स मेहूर्तमिव ध्यात्वा बाष्पपर्याकुलेक्षणः ।
सीतामाश्रित्य तेजस्वी हनुमान् विललाप ह ॥

Thinking for a while with eyes full of
tears, the effulgent Hanuman lamented the
fate of Sita :
 
मान्या गुरुविनीतस्य लक्ष्मणस्य गुरुप्रिया ।
यदि सीताऽपि दुःखार्ता कालो हि दुरतिक्रमः ॥
 
" If even Sita, ever devoted to her elders
and worshipped by Lakshmana devoted to
his brother, is afflicted with grief, indeed
fate is invincible.
 
रामस्य व्यवसायज्ञा लक्ष्मणस्य च धीमतः ।
नात्यर्थं क्षुभ्यते देवो गङ्गेव जलदागमे ।
 
The noble Sita, knowing the resolute-
ness of Rama and of the wise Lakshmana,
does not agitate herself too much like the
Ganges on the approach of the rainy
 
season.
