tears, after looking at that excellent
jewel :
अयं हि शोभते तस्याः प्रियाया मूर्ध्नि मे मणिः ।
अस्याद्य दर्शनेनाहं प्राप्तां तामिव चिन्तये ॥
"This Jewel does indeed shine on the
head of my beloved. Looking at it now
I fancy Sita herself returned.
चिरं जीवति वैदेही यदि मासं धरिष्यति ।
न जीवेयं क्षणमपि विना तामसितेक्षणाम् ॥
Vaidehi will have indeed lived long if
she sustains herself for a month. But
cannot live even for a moment without
the dark-eyed one.
नय मामपि तं देशं यत्र दृष्टा मम प्रिया ।
न तिष्ठेयं क्षणमपि प्रवृत्तिमुपलभ्य च ॥
Lead me also to that place where my
beloved was seen (by you). I cannot
tarry even for a moment after having
obtained news of her.
