Then, as the night passed, Rama, the joy of the Raghu dynasty (raghunandanaḥ), gently awoke Lakshmana, who had been sleeping beside him.

O Saumitra, listen to the sweet sounds of the forest creatures calling out. O scorcher of foes (parantapa), it is time for our departure; we must set forth.

Lakshmana, who had been sleeping, was awakened in due time by his brother. He then cast off his sleep and drowsiness, as well as the persistent fatigue from the journey.

4.
Then, having risen, all of them touched the sacred water of the river and proceeded on that path to Citrakūṭa which had been pointed out by the sage.
ततः संप्रस्थितः काले रामः सौमित्रिणा सह ।

Then, at the appropriate moment, Rama, having set out with Lakshmana, spoke these words to Sita, whose eyes resembled lotus petals.

6.
O Vaidehī, observe the Kimśuka trees, which are in full bloom everywhere with their own flowers, appearing as if ablaze and garlanded at the end of winter.

7.
Behold the Bhallātaka trees, in full bloom and unfrequented by men, laden with their fruits and leaves. Surely, I will be able to live (jīvitum) [here].

Lakṣmaṇa, behold these honeys, each measuring a droṇa, hanging from every tree, collected by honey-bees.

This curlew calls out, and the peacock echoes its cry. This happens in a charming forest area, dense with a carpet of flowers.

Behold this Citrakūṭa mountain, with its towering peaks, traversed by herds of elephants, and resounding with the calls of bird flocks.

11.
Thereupon, the two of them, traveling on foot accompanied by Sītā, reached the beautiful and charming Citrakūṭa mountain.
तं तु पर्वतमासाद्य नानापक्षिगणायुतम् ।

12.
Having reached that mountain, which was crowded with various flocks of birds, (Rama said to Lakshmana,) "This should be our dwelling for now. O gentle one, let us find delight here."
लक्ष्मणानय दारूणि दृढानि च वराणि च ।

13.
Lakshmana, bring strong and excellent woods. O gentle one, construct a dwelling, for my mind is intent on residing here.

14.
Hearing those words of his, Saumitri (Lakshmana), the subduer of foes, brought various trees and then constructed a leaf-hut.
शुश्रूषमाणमेकाग्रमिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ।
ऐणेयं मांसमाहृत्य शालां यक्ष्यामहे वयम् ॥१५॥

15.
He spoke this to the one who was listening with single-minded attention: 'Having obtained deer meat, we will perform a Vedic ritual (yajña) in the dwelling.'
स लक्ष्मणः कृष्णमृगं हत्वा मेध्यं पतापवान् ।
अथ चिक्षेप सौमित्रिः समिद्धे जातवेदसि ॥१६॥

atha saumitriḥ samiddhe jātavedasi cikṣepa
16.
That glorious Lakṣmaṇa, having killed a pure black antelope (fit for a ritual offering), then Saumitri offered it into the blazing fire.
तं तु पक्वं समाज्ञाय निष्टप्तं छिन्नशोणितम् ।
लक्ष्मणः पुरुषव्याघ्रमथ राघवमब्रवीत् ॥१७॥
लक्ष्मणः पुरुषव्याघ्रमथ राघवमब्रवीत् ॥१७॥

lakṣmaṇaḥ atha puruṣavyāghram rāghavam abravīt
lakṣmaṇaḥ atha puruṣavyāghram rāghavam abravīt
17.
And having realized that (antelope) was cooked, well-roasted, and with its blood drained, Lakṣmaṇa then spoke to Rāghava, the tiger among men (puruṣa).
अयं कृष्णः समाप्ताङ्गः शृतः कृष्ण मृगो यथा ।

kṛṣṇa mṛgaḥ yathā kuśalaḥ hi asi (iti) yajasva
kṛṣṇa mṛgaḥ yathā kuśalaḥ hi asi (iti) yajasva
18.
O divine one, who resembles a deity, this black antelope (kṛṣṇamṛga) is completely cooked and prepared. Therefore, perform the ritual offering (yajña), for you are indeed skillful.

19.
Rāma, having bathed and being disciplined, virtuous, and skilled in chanting (japa), performed an excellent offering for the alleviation of sins.

20.
They all, having assembled, entered that beautiful hall (sabhā) which was covered with tree leaves, well-constructed for its location, and sheltered from the wind, just as the hosts of deities enter the divine assembly hall (Sudharmā).
अनेकनानामृगपक्षिसंकुले विचित्रपुष्पस्तबलैर्द्रुमैर्युते ।

21.
In that excellent forest (vanottama), which was teeming with numerous kinds of animals and birds, adorned with trees bearing clusters of varied flowers, and resonant with the calls of fierce beasts, those who had mastered their senses (jitendriyāḥ) enjoyed themselves in great comfort.
सुरम्यमासाद्य तु चित्रकूटं नदीं च तां माल्यवतीं सुतीर्थाम् ।

22.
Having arrived at the exceedingly beautiful Citrakūṭa and that river Mālyavatī, which possessed excellent bathing places, he, feeling joyful, delighted in this place frequented by deer and birds, and abandoned the grief caused by his exile from the city.
