THE RAMAYANA
 
Then all those ornaments which
bedecked your body and which you caused
to drop on the earth when you were
carried off by the demon,-those ornaments
which had been brought together by me,
were given to Rama.
 
तान्यङ्के दर्शनीयानि कृत्वा बहुविधं तव ।
तेन देवप्रकाशेन देवेन परिदेवितम् ॥
 
Placing those beautiful ornaments of
yours on his lap, lamentations of various
kinds were indulged in by Rama who was
shining like a god.
 
स त्वां मनुजशार्दूलः क्षिप्रं प्राप्स्यति राघवः ।
समित्रबान्धवं हत्वा रावणं जनकात्मजे ॥
 
O daughter of Janaka, that Raghava,
foremost of men, will regain you quickly
after killing Ravana along with his friends
and relatives.
 
सहितौ रामसुग्रीवावुभावकुरुतां तदा ।
समयं वालिनं हन्तुं तव चान्वेषणं तथा ॥
 
Then Rama and Sugriva entered into a
mutual contract, to kill Vali and to
search for you.
