THE RAMAYANA
 
T
hen all those ornaments which be-

decked your body and which you caused

to drop on the earth when you were

carried off by the demon,-those orna-

ments which had been brought together

by me, were given to Rama.
 

 
तान्यङ्क दर्शनीयानि कृत्वा बहुविधं तव ।

तेन देवप्रकाशेन देवेन परिदेवितम् ॥
 

Placing those beautiful ornaments of

yours on his lap, lamentations of various

kinds were indulged in by Rama who was

shining like a god.
 

 
स त्वां मनुजशार्दूलः क्षिप्रं प्राप्स्यति राघवः ।

समित्रबान्धवं हत्वा रावणं जनकात्मजे ॥
 

O daughter of Janaka, that Raghava,

foremost of men, will regain you quickly

after killing Ravana along with his

friends and relatives.
 

 
सहितौ रामसुग्रीवावुभावकुरुतां तदा ।

समय वालिनं हन्तुं तव चान्वेषण तथा ॥
 

Then Rama and Sugriva entered into a
 

mutual contract, to kill
Vali and to
 
mutual contract, to kill
 

search for you.
