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 सर्व न्यवेदयत राघवे ॥
 
Being thus addressed by the high souled
Raghava, Hanuman informed Raghava of
all that was uttered by Sita thus:
 
हनुमन् सिंहसंकाशौ 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 महाबाहुर्मा तारयति राघवः ।
अस्माद्दुःखाम्बुसंरोधात् त्वं समाधातुमर्हसि ॥
 
It behoves you to do that by which the
mighty-armed Raghava shall rescue me from
confinement within this ocean of sorrows."
