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."
