क्व गतो लप्स्यसे शर्म मम भर्तुर्महात्मनः।
निमेषान्तरमात्रेण विना भ्रातरमाहवे ॥ ३.५३.२३ ॥

न त्वां हन्याच्छरैस्तीक्ष्णैरिष्टभार्यापहारिणम्।
एतच्चान्यच्च परुषं वैदेही रावणाङ्कगा।
भयशोकसमाविष्टा करुणं विललाप ह ॥ ३.५३.२५ ॥
You who carried off another's beloved wife, he would surely slay with sharp arrows; saying this and other harsh things, Vaidehī, seated in Rāvaṇa's lap, overcome with fear and sorrow, lamented piteously.
3.53.26
तदा भृशार्तां बहु चैव भाषिणीं
विलापपूर्वं करुणं च भामिनीम्।
जहार पापस्तरुणीं विचेष्टतीं
नृपात्मजामागतगात्रवेपथुः ॥ ३.५३.२६ ॥
Then the wicked one seized that lovely woman, greatly distressed, speaking much and lamenting piteously, that young king's daughter writhing about, his limbs trembling with agitation.
