THE RAMAYANA
Standing before my face with your
character liable to suspicion, you have
become absolutely unwelcome
like a lamp to one who has sore eyes.
to me
तद्गच्छ ह्यभ्यनुज्ञाता यथेष्टं जनकात्मजे ।
एता दश दिशो भद्रे कार्यमस्ति न मे त्वया ॥
Therefore, O daughter of Janaka, with
my permission go where you like; all
about you are the ten cardinal points,
O amiable one, you are of no use to me
any more.
कः पुमान् हिं कुले जातः स्त्रियं परगृहोषिताम् ।
तेजस्वी पुनरादद्यात् सुहृल्लेख्येन चेतसा ।
For, which man of a good family and
a bright reputation will take back with
eager heart a wife that has lived in
another's house ?
रावणाङ्कपरिभ्रष्टां दृष्टां दुष्टेन चक्षुषा।
कथं त्वां पुनरादद्यां कुलं व्यपदिशन्महत् ॥
How can I, claiming noble descent,
take back you who have been disgraced
by remaining on Ravana's lap and who
have been looked at by him with evil eye?
