THE RAMAYANA
 
'मधुरा मधुरालापा किमाह मम भामिनी ।
मद्विहीना वरारोहा हनुमन् कथयस्व मे ॥
 
O Hanuman, tell me; what did my
beautiful, sweet, sweet-voiced wife of
beautiful hips, say to you, separated
from me.
 
एवमुक्तस्तु हनुमान् राघवेण महात्मना ।
सीताया भाषितं सर्वं न्यवेदयत राघवे ॥
 
Being thus addressed by the high soul-
ed Raghava, Hanuman informed Raghava
of all that was uttered by Sita thus :
 
हनुमन् सिंहसङ्काशौ तावुभौ रामलक्ष्मणौ ।
सुग्रीवं च सहामात्यं सर्वान् ब्रूया ह्यनामयम् ॥
 
"O Hanuman, inform those two, Rama
and Lakshmana, effulgent like lions, and
Sugriva, his ministers and all, of my
welfare.
 
यथा च स महाबाहुर्मां तारयति राघवः ।
अस्माद्दः खाम्बुसंरोधात् त्वं समाधातुमर्हसि ॥
 
It behoves you to do that by which the
mighty-armed Raghava shall rescue me
from confinement within this ocean of
sorrows."
