12. If Rama, the descendant of Kakutstha, is well, why then does he, like the arisen fire at the end of an eon, burn with anger the earth, which is girdled by the oceans?

muhyati? kaccit nṛpateḥ sutaḥ puruṣakāryāṇi kurute?
15. I hope he is not distressed or bewildered, and that he does not become confused in his duties. I hope the son of the king performs manly endeavors.

śirasi añjalim ādhāya uttaram vākyam abravīt
31. Having heard the words of Sītā, Māruti, who was endowed with formidable prowess, placed his folded hands on his head and then spoke the following reply.
न त्वामिहस्थां जानीते रामः कमललोचनः ।
श्रुत्वैव तु वचो मह्यं क्षिप्रमेष्यति राघवः ॥३२॥

laṅkām purīm śāntarākṣasām kariṣyati
33. Leading his great army teeming with hosts of monkeys and bears, Rāma, the descendant of Kakutstha, will block the impassable ocean with torrents of arrows and make the city of Laṅkā free from rākṣasas.
तत्र यद्यन्तरा मृत्युर्यदि देवाः सहासुराः ।

34. tatra yadi mṛtyuḥ antarā yadi devāḥ saha asurāḥ
rāmasya pathi sthāsyanti sa tān api vadhiṣyati
34. There, if Death stands in his way, or if the gods (devas) along with the demons (asuras) block Rāma's path, he will kill even them.
तवादर्शनजेनार्ये शोकेन स परिप्लुतः ।
न शर्म लभते रामः सिंहार्दित इव द्विपः ॥३५॥

35. ārye tava adarśanajena śokena sa pariplutaḥ
rāmaḥ siṃhāditaḥ dvipaḥ iva śarma na labhate
35. O noble one, he (Rāma) is overwhelmed by the sorrow caused by your absence. Rāma finds no peace, like an elephant tormented by a lion.
दर्दरेण च ते देवि शपे मूलफलेन च ।
मलयेन च विन्ध्येन मेरुणा मन्दरेण च ॥३६॥

malayen ca vindhyena meruṇā mandareṇa ca
36. devi te dardareṇa ca mūlaphalena ca malayen
ca vindhyena meruṇā mandareṇa ca śape
36. O goddess, I swear to you by Mount Dardara, by roots and fruits, and by (Mount) Malaya, (Mount) Vindhya, (Mount) Meru, and (Mount) Mandara.
यथा सुनयनं वल्गु बिम्बौष्ठं चारुकुण्डलम् ।

mukhaṃ drakṣyasi rāmasya pūrṇacandramivoditam.
37. yathā sunayanaṃ valgu bimbauṣṭhaṃ cārukuṇḍalam
mukham drakṣyasi rāmasya pūrṇacandram iva uditam
37. You will see Rama's face, adorned with beautiful eyes, charming bimba-like lips, and lovely earrings, appearing like the rising full moon.
क्षिप्रं द्रक्ष्यसि वैदेहि रामं प्रस्रवणे गिरौ ।
शतक्रतुमिवासीनं नाकपृष्ठस्य मूर्धनि ॥३८॥

38. kṣipram drakṣyasi vaidehi rāmam prasravaṇe girau
śatakratum iva āsīnam nākapṛṣṭhasya mūrdhani
38. Quickly, Vaidehi, you will see Rama on Mount Prasravaṇa, seated like Śatakratu (Indra) on the summit of heaven.

वन्यं सुविहितं नित्यं भक्तमश्नाति पञ्चमम् ॥३९॥
39. na māṃsaṃ rāghavo bhuṅkte na cāpi madhusevate ,
vanyaṃ suvihitaṃ nityaṃ bhaktamaśnāti pañcamam.
39. na māṃsam rāghavaḥ bhuṅkte na ca api madhusevate
vanyam suvihitam nityam bhaktam aśnāti pañcamam
39. Rama (Rāghava) does not eat meat, nor does he partake of honey. He regularly consumes only well-prepared forest produce, as his evening meal (pañcamam).
नैव दंशान्न मशकान्न कीटान्न सरीसृपान् ।
राघवो ऽपनयेद्गत्रात्त्वद्गतेनान्तरात्मना ॥४०॥

rāghavo'panayedgatrāttvadgatenāntarātmanā.
40. na eva daṃśān na maśakān na kīṭān na sarīsṛpān
rāghavaḥ apanayet gātrāt tvadgatena antarātmanā
40. Rama (Rāghava), with his inner self (ātman) completely absorbed in you, does not even ward off flies, mosquitoes, insects, or reptiles from his body.
नित्यं ध्यानपरो रामो नित्यं शोकपरायणः ।
नान्यच्चिन्तयते किं चित् स तु कामवशं गतः ॥४१॥

41. nityam dhyānaparaḥ rāmaḥ nityam śokaparāyaṇaḥ na
anyat cintayate kiṃ cit saḥ tu kāmavaśam gataḥ
41. Rama is constantly in a state of deep thought (dhyāna), always engrossed in sorrow. He does not think of anything else, as he has fallen under the sway of desire.
अनिद्रः सततं रामः सुप्तो ऽपि च नरोत्तमः ।
सीतेति मधुरां वाणीं व्याहरन्प्रतिबुध्यते ॥४२॥
42. anidraḥ satataṃ rāmaḥ supto'pi ca narottamaḥ ,
sīteti madhurāṃ vāṇīṃ vyāharanpratibudhyate.
42. anidraḥ satatam rāmaḥ suptaḥ api ca narottamaḥ
sītā iti madhurām vāṇīm vyāharan pratibudhyate
42. Rama, the best among men, is constantly sleepless; even when he sleeps, he awakens uttering the sweet word "Sītā."
दृष्ट्वा फलं वा पुष्पं वा यच्चान्यत् स्त्रीमनोहरम् ।
बहुशो हा प्रियेत्येवं श्वसंस्त्वामभिभाषते ॥४३॥
43. dṛṣṭvā phalaṃ vā puṣpaṃ vā yaccānyat strīmanoharam ,
bahuśo hā priyetyevaṃ śvasaṃstvāmabhibhāṣate.
43. dṛṣṭvā phalam vā puṣpam vā yat ca anyat strīmanoharam
bahuśaḥ hā priyā iti evam śvasan tvām abhibhāṣate
43. Having seen a fruit or a flower, or anything else charming to women, he frequently sighs, "Alas, O dear!", and in this manner addresses you.
स देवि नित्यं परितप्यमानस्त्वामेव सीतेत्यभिभाषमाणः ।
धृतव्रतो राजसुतो महात्मा तवैव लाभाय कृतप्रयत्नः ॥४४॥
44. sa devi nityaṃ paritapyamānastvāmeva sītetyabhibhāṣamāṇaḥ ,
dhṛtavrato rājasuto mahātmā tavaiva lābhāya kṛtaprayatnaḥ.
44. saḥ devi nityam paritapyamānaḥ
tvām eva sītā iti abhibhāṣamāṇaḥ
dhṛtavrataḥ rājasutaḥ mahātmā
tava eva lābhāya kṛtaprayatnaḥ
44. O goddess, that great-souled (mahātmā) son of the king, who is constantly suffering and addresses only you as "Sītā," is firm in his vow and has made efforts solely for your recovery.
सा रामसंकीर्तनवीतशोका रामस्य शोकेन समानशोका ।
शरन्मुखेनाम्बुदशेषचन्द्रा निशेव वैदेहसुता बभूव ॥४५॥
45. sā rāmasaṃkīrtanavītaśokā rāmasya śokena samānaśokā ,
śaranmukhenāmbudaśeṣacandrā niśeva vaidehasutā babhūva.
45. sā rāmasaṃkīrtanavītaśokā rāmasya śokena samānaśokā
śaranmukhena ambudaśeṣacandrā niśā iva vaidehasutā babhūva
45. sā vaidehasutā rāmasaṃkīrtanavītaśokā rāmasya śokena
samānaśokā śaranmukhena ambudaśeṣacandrā niśā iva babhūva
45. That daughter of Videha (Sītā), whose grief had been dispelled by the recounting of Rāma's virtues, yet who remained equally sorrowful due to Rāma's distress, became like a night at the onset of autumn, when the clouds have dispersed and the moon is clearly visible.
