3.62.1
सीतामपश्यन् धर्मात्मा शोकोपहतचेतनः।
विललाप महाबाहू रामः कमललोचनः ॥ ३.६२.१ ॥
Not seeing Sītā, Rāma, the righteous-souled one, his consciousness struck down by grief, lamented — the mighty-armed, lotus-eyed Rāma.
3.62.2
पश्यन्निव च तां सीतामपश्यन्मन्मथार्दितः।
उवाच राघवो वाक्यं विलापाश्रयदुर्वचम् ॥ ३.६२.२ ॥
As if seeing her, yet not seeing Sītā, Rāghava, tormented by desire, spoke words harsh with lamentation.
3.62.3
त्वमशोकस्य शाखाभिः पुष्पप्रियतरा प्रिये।
आवृणोषि शरीरं ते मम शोकविवर्धनी ॥ ३.६२.३ ॥
You, beloved, who are most fond of flowers, cover your body with the branches of the aśoka tree — which increases my sorrow.
3.62.4
कदलीकाण्डसदृशौ कदल्या संवृतावुभौ।
ऊरू पश्यामि ते देवि नासि शक्ता निगूहितुम् ॥ ३.६२.४ ॥
O goddess, I see your two thighs, like banana-trunks, covered by the banana plant; you are not able to hide them.
3.62.5
कर्णिकारवनं भद्रे हसन्ती देवि सेवसे।
अलं ते परिहासेन मम बाधावहेन वै ॥ ३.६२.५ ॥
O auspicious one, O goddess, laughing, you resort to the karṇikāra grove; enough of your jesting, which truly causes me pain.
3.62.6
विशेषेणाश्रमस्थाने हासोऽयं न प्रशस्यते।
अवगच्छामि ते शीलं परिहासप्रियं प्रिये ॥ ३.६२.६ ॥
Especially in a hermitage place, this laughter is not praised. Beloved, I understand your nature — you are fond of jesting.
3.62.7
आगच्छ त्वं विशालाक्षि शून्योऽयमुटजस्तव।
सुव्यक्तं राक्षसैः सीता भक्षिता वा हृतापि वा ॥ ३.६२.७ ॥
Come, wide-eyed one; this hut of yours is empty. Clearly, Sītā has been devoured by the rākṣasas or carried off.
3.62.8
न हि सा विलपन्तं मामुपसम्प्रैति लक्ष्मण।
एतानि मृगयूथानि साश्रुनेत्राणि लक्ष्मण ॥ ३.६२.८ ॥
Lakṣmaṇa, she does not come near me as I lament. Lakṣmaṇa, these herds of deer have tear-filled eyes.
3.62.9
शंसन्तीव हि मे देवीं भक्षितां रजनीचरैः।
हा ममार्ये क्व यातासि हा साध्वि वरवर्णिनि ॥ ३.६२.९ ॥
It is as if these deer were telling me that the goddess has been devoured by the night-wanderers. Alas, my noble lady, where have you gone? Alas, virtuous one, fair-complexioned one!
3.62.10
हा सकामाद्य कैकेयी देवि मेऽद्य भविष्यति।
सीतया सह निर्यातो विना सीतामुपागतः ॥ ३.६२.१० ॥
Alas! Today Kaikeyī will be one whose desire is fulfilled; goddess, today my own state will be so. I set out together with Sītā; now I have returned without Sītā.
3.62.11
कथं नाम प्रवेक्ष्यामि शून्यमन्तःपुरं मम।
निर्वीर्य इति लोको मां निर्दयश्चेति वक्ष्यति ॥ ३.६२.११ ॥
How shall I enter my empty inner palace? People will say of me that I am powerless, and merciless too.
3.62.12
कातरत्वं प्रकाशं हि सीतापनयनेन मे।
निवृत्तवनवासश्च जनकं मिथिलाधिपम् ॥ ३.६२.१२ ॥
Through the abduction of Sītā my cowardice will be laid bare openly; having returned from forest exile, how shall I face Janaka, lord of Mithilā?
3.62.13
कुशलं परिपृच्छन्तं कथं शक्ष्ये निरीक्षितुम्।
विदेहराजो नूनं मां दृष्ट्वा विरहितं तया ॥ ३.६२.१३ ॥
How shall I be able to look upon him as he asks after my welfare? The king of Videha, surely seeing me bereft of her,
3.62.14
सुताविनाशसंतप्तो मोहस्य वशमेष्यति।
अथवा न गमिष्यामि पुरीं भरतपालिताम् ॥ ३.६२.१४ ॥
Tormented by the loss of his daughter, he will fall into the grip of delusion. Or else I shall not go to the city guarded by Bharata.
3.62.15
स्वर्गोऽपि हि तया हीनः शून्य एव मतो मम।
तन्मामुत्सृज्य हि वने गच्छायोध्यापुरीं शुभाम् ॥ ३.६२.१५ ॥
Even heaven, without her, is held by me to be empty indeed. Therefore, leaving me in the forest, go to the auspicious city of Ayodhyā.
3.62.16
न त्वहं तां विना सीतां जीवेयं हि कथंचन।
गाढमाश्लिष्य भरतो वाच्यो मद्वचनात् त्वया ॥ ३.६२.१६ ॥
But without Sītā I could not in any way live. At my word, embrace Bharata tightly and tell him:
3.62.17
अनुज्ञातोऽसि रामेण पालयेति वसुंधराम्।
अम्बा च मम कैकेयी सुमित्रा च त्वया विभो ॥ ३.६२.१७ ॥
You are permitted by Rāma: "Protect the earth." O mighty one, my mothers Kaikeyī and Sumitrā must also be protected by you.
3.62.18
कौसल्या च यथान्यायमभिवाद्या ममाज्ञया।
रक्षणीया प्रयत्नेन भवता सूक्तचारिणा ॥ ३.६२.१८ ॥
And Kauśalyā, as is right, salute at my command. You who walk in rectitude must protect her with effort.
3.62.19
सीतायाश्च विनाशोऽयं मम चामित्रसूदन।
विस्तरेण जनन्या मे विनिवेद्यस्त्वया भवेत् ॥ ३.६२.१९ ॥
O destroyer of foes, this ruin of Sītā and of me must be reported to my mother by you in full detail.
3.62.20
वनमुपगम्य तया विना सुकेश्या।
भयविकलमुखस्तु लक्ष्मणोऽपि
व्यथितमना भृशमातुरो बभूव ॥ ३.६२.२० ॥
Having reached the forest without her, the fair-tressed Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa too, his face distraught with fear, became deeply troubled at heart and greatly anguished.
