SUNDARAKANDA
 
हनुमांश्च महाबाहुः प्रणम्य शिरसा ततः ।

नियतामक्षतां देवीं राघवाय न्यवेदयत् ॥
 

Then the mighty armed Hanuman

bowed with his head to Raghava and in-

formed him of Sita the queen being

without stain and without scathe :
 

 
तत्र लङ्केति नगरी रावणस्य दुरात्मनः ।

दक्षिणस्य समुद्रस्य तीरे वसतितिं दक्षिणे ॥

"There is on the southern bank of the

southern ocean a City called Lanka

which belongs to the wicked Ravana.
 

 
तत्र सीता मया दृष्टा रावणान्तः पुरे सती ।

सन्न्यस्य त्वयि जीवन्ती रामा राम मनोरथम् ॥
 

O Rama, there, in Ravana's seraglio

Sita was by me found alive, charming,

virtuous, with all desire concentrated on

you.
 

 
सा मया नरशार्दूल विश्वासमुपपादिता।

रामसुग्रीवसख्यं च श्रुत्वा प्रीतिमुपागता ॥
 

O best of men, she was inspired with

confidence by me. Hearing of the friend-

ship between Rama and Sugriva, she

rejoiced.
