THE RAMAYANA
through the moon, our eyes meet (as both
of us look at the same moon.)
हारोऽपि नार्पितः कण्ठे स्पर्शसंरोधभीरुणा ।
भुजयोरन्तरे जाताः पर्वताः सरितो द्रुमाः ॥
Even a garland was not put by me
upon the neck of my beloved lest it
should hinder our (mutual) contact. But
now, mountains, rivers and trees have
come between us (our arms).
कदा नु राक्षसेन्द्रस्य निधायोरसि सायकान् ।
सीतां प्रत्याहरिष्यामि शोकमुत्सृज्य मानसम् ॥
When shall I bring back Sita after
shooting with arrows the breast of the lord
of the Rakshasas and thus casting aside
my mental agony?"
एवं विलपतस्तस्य भास्करोऽस्तमुपागमत् ।
आश्वासितो लक्ष्मणेन रामः सन्ध्यामुपाविशत् ॥
As he was thus lamenting, the sun set.
And being consoled by Lakshmana, Rama
began to offer his evening prayers.
