34. aham tu vaidehyāḥ arthasiddhim upasthitām
rākṣasendravināśam ca rāghavasya vijayam ca paśyāmi
34. Indeed, I see the fulfillment of Vaidehī's purpose to be imminent, as well as the destruction of the lord of the Rākṣasas and the victory of Rāghava.

35. etat tu nimittabhūtam asyāḥ śrotum mahat priyam
ca sphurat cakṣuḥ padmapatram iva āyatam dṛśyate
35. This is indeed an omen, very pleasing for her to hear. And her throbbing eye, wide like a lotus leaf, is seen.
ईषच्च हृषितो वास्या दक्षिणाया ह्यदक्षिणः ।
अकस्मादेव वैदेह्या बाहुरेकः प्रकम्पते ॥३६॥
36. īṣacca hṛṣito vāsyā dakṣiṇāyā hyadakṣiṇaḥ ,
akasmādeva vaidehyā bāhurekaḥ prakampate.
36. īṣat ca hṛṣitaḥ vā asyāḥ dakṣiṇāyāḥ hi adakṣiṇaḥ
akasmāt eva vaidehyāḥ bāhuḥ ekaḥ prakampate
36. ca asyāḥ dakṣiṇāyāḥ īṣat hṛṣitaḥ hi adakṣiṇaḥ
akasmāt eva vaidehyāḥ ekaḥ bāhuḥ prakampate
36. And indeed, her right (side) is slightly thrilled, which is inauspicious. Suddenly, one arm of Vaidehī (Sītā) begins to tremble.
करेणुहस्तप्रतिमः सव्यश्चोरुरनुत्तमः ।
वेपन् सूचयतीवास्या राघवं पुरतः स्थितम् ॥३७॥
37. kareṇuhastapratimaḥ savyaścoruranuttamaḥ ,

37. kareṇuhastapratimaḥ savyaḥ ca ūruḥ anuttamaḥ
vepan sūcayati iva asyāḥ rāghavam purataḥ sthitam
37. asyāḥ savyaḥ anuttamaḥ ūruḥ kareṇuhastapratimaḥ
vepan iva purataḥ sthitam rāghavam sūcayati
37. Her excellent left thigh, which resembles an elephant's trunk, trembles as if indicating the presence of Rāghava before her.
पक्षी च शाखा निलयं प्रविष्टः पुनः पुनश्चोत्तमसान्त्ववादी ।
सुखागतां वाचमुदीरयाणः पुनः पुनश्चोदयतीव हृष्टः ॥३८॥
38. pakṣī ca śākhā nilayaṃ praviṣṭaḥ punaḥ punaścottamasāntvavādī ,
sukhāgatāṃ vācamudīrayāṇaḥ punaḥ punaścodayatīva hṛṣṭaḥ.
38. pakṣī ca śākhā-nilayam praviṣṭaḥ
punaḥ punaḥ ca uttama-sāntva-vādī
sukhāgatām vācam udīrayāṇaḥ
punaḥ punaḥ ca codayati iva hṛṣṭaḥ
38. pakṣī ca śākhā-nilayam praviṣṭaḥ
hṛṣṭaḥ punaḥ punaḥ ca
uttama-sāntva-vādī sukhāgatām vācam
udīrayāṇaḥ iva punaḥ punaḥ codayati
38. A bird, having entered its nest in the branches, repeatedly utters pleasant, comforting words, as if joyfully encouraging (Sita) again and again.
