After enquiring of your welfare, the
heroic Rama, the delight of the Raghus,
tells you with great satisfaction and with
his heart's desire fulfilled :
प्रियमाख्यामि ते देवि त्वां तु भूयः सभाजये ।
दिष्टया जीवसि धर्मज्ञे जयेन मम संयुगे ॥
"O Queen, I tell you this good news,
and so gratify you once again. O knower
of righteousness, it is fortunate you are
alive when victory has been obtained
in battle.
लब्धी नो विजयः सीते स्वस्था भव गतव्यथा ।
रावणश्च हतश्शत्रुः लङ्का चेयं वशे स्थिता ॥
O Sita, victory has come to us. Be
consoled, freed from all anxiety. Our
foe Ravana has been slain and this Lanka
is now under my control.
मया ह्यलब्धनिद्रेण हटेन द्रव निर्जये ।
प्रतिशैषा विनिस्तीर्णा बद्धा सेतुं महोदधौ ॥
By building a bridge across the mighty
ocean has this vow been fulfilled by me,
who have been sleepless in my resolve to
recover you.
