THE RAMAYANA
न मांसं राघवो भुङ्क्ते न चापि मधु सेवते ।
वन्यं सुविहितं नित्यं भक्तमश्नाति पञ्चमम् ॥
Raghava does not eat any flesh nor
does he drink honey. He eats only boiled
rice and forest produce as prescribed
(for the ascetic) always in the fifth part
of the day (evenings).
अनिद्रस्सततं रामः सुप्तोऽपि च नरोत्तमः ।
सीतेति मधुरं वाणीं व्याहरन् प्रतिबुध्यते ॥
Rama, best of men, has no sleep,
usually.
And even when he sleeps,
he wakes up uttering the sweet words.
' Sita, Sita.'
अभिज्ञानं प्रयच्छ त्वं जानीयाद्राघवोहि यत् ।
ब्रूहि यद्राघवो वाच्यो लक्ष्मणश्च महाबलः ॥
Give me some token that Raghava may
recognise it, and tell me that
which
Raghava and
Lakshmana
should be told."

इत्युक्तवति तस्मिंश्च सीता सुरसुतोपमा ।
उवाच शोकसन्तप्ता हनुमन्तं प्लवङ्गमम् ॥
