अवधूय च तां बुद्धिं बभूवावस्थितस्तदा।
जगाम चापरां चिन्तां सीतां प्रति महाकपिः ॥ ५.११.१ ॥
Shaking off that thought, the great monkey then grew steady, and turned to another anxiety about Sītā.

न हि रामसमः कश्चिद् विद्यते त्रिदशेष्वपि ॥ ५.११.३ ॥

5.11.26
पानश्रेष्ठां तथा भूमिं कपिस्तत्र ददर्श सः।
सोऽपश्यच्छातकुम्भानि सीधोर्मणिमयानि च ॥ ५.११.२६ ॥
There the monkey saw that most excellent drinking-hall, and he saw golden vessels of sīdhu liquor set with jewels.
5.11.27
तानि तानि च पूर्णानि भाजनानि महाकपिः।
क्वचिदर्धावशेषाणि क्वचित् पीतान्यशेषतः ॥ ५.११.२७ ॥
The great monkey saw those very vessels, full; some half-left, others drunk down entirely.
5.11.28
क्वचिन्नैव प्रपीतानि पानानि स ददर्श ह।
क्वचिद् भक्ष्यांश्च विविधान् क्वचित् पानानि भागशः ॥ ५.११.२८ ॥
Somewhere the drinks had not been drunk at all, and he saw indeed; elsewhere were various foods, and elsewhere the drinks were divided into portions.
5.11.29
क्वचिदर्धावशेषाणि पश्यन् वै विचचार ह।
शयनान्यत्र नारीणां शून्यानि बहुधा पुनः।
परस्परं समाश्लिष्य काश्चित् सुप्ता वरांगनाः ॥ ५.११.२९ ॥
Seeing the half-left vessels here and there, he wandered on. Here were women's couches, empty in many ways; and some excellent women lay asleep, embracing one another.
5.11.30
काचिच्च वस्त्रमन्यस्या अपहृत्योपगुह्य च।
उपगम्याबला सुप्ता निद्राबलपराजिता ॥ ५.११.३० ॥
One woman, having drawn away another's garment and embraced her and come close, lay asleep, the frail one vanquished by the strength of sleep.
5.11.31
तासामुच्छ्वासवातेन वस्त्रं माल्यं च गात्रजम्।
नात्यर्थं स्पन्दते चित्रं प्राप्य मन्दमिवानिलम् ॥ ५.११.३१ ॥
By the breath of their exhalation, their garments and the garlands on their bodies did not stir excessively; they trembled wondrously gently, as if touched by a soft breeze.
5.11.32
चन्दनस्य च शीतस्य सीधोर्मधुरसस्य च।
विविधस्य च माल्यस्य पुष्पस्य विविधस्य च ॥ ५.११.३२ ॥
of sandal paste, of cool sīdhu wine, of sweet liquor, of various garlands, and of various flowers.

स्नानानां चन्दनानां च धूपानां चैव मूर्च्छितः ॥ ५.११.३३ ॥
The wind, carrying in many ways the varied fragrances there, blew saturated with the scents of bath-perfumes, sandal paste and incense.
5.11.34
प्रववौ सुरभिर्गन्धो विमाने पुष्पके तदा।
श्यामावदातास्तत्रान्याः काश्चित् कृष्णा वरांगनाः ॥ ५.११.३४ ॥
Then a fragrant scent blew forth in the Puṣpaka aerial chariot; there were there excellent women, some dark-complexioned, some fair, and some dark.
5.11.35
काश्चित् काञ्चनवर्णांग््यः प्रमदा राक्षसालये।
तासां निद्रावशत्वाच्च मदनेन विमूर्च्छितम् ॥ ५.११.३५ ॥
In the abode of the rākṣasas there were some women with golden-hued bodies; overpowered by sleep, and swooned as if by desire, they lay there.
5.11.36
पद्मिनीनां प्रसुप्तानां रूपमासीद् यथैव हि।
एवं सर्वमशेषेण रावणान्तःपुरं कपिः।
ददर्श स महातेजा न ददर्श च जानकीम् ॥ ५.११.३६ ॥
Their beauty was like that of lotuses in a lotus-pond while sleeping. Thus that mighty-splendored monkey saw the whole inner apartment of Rāvaṇa completely, but did not see Jānakī.
5.11.37
निरीक्षमाणश्च ततस्ताः स्त्रियः स महाकपिः।
जगाम महतीं शंकां धर्मसाध्वसशंकितः ॥ ५.११.३७ ॥
Then, as he gazed at those women, the great monkey was seized by a great doubt, troubled by fear of violating dharma.
5.11.38
परदारावरोधस्य प्रसुप्तस्य निरीक्षणम्।
इदं खलु ममात्यर्थं धर्मलोपं करिष्यति ॥ ५.११.३८ ॥
To look thus upon sleeping women in the inner chambers of another's wives will surely be a great violation of dharma for me.
5.11.39
न हि मे परदाराणां दृष्टिर्विषयवर्तिनी।
अयं चात्र मया दृष्टः परदारपरिग्रहः ॥ ५.११.३९ ॥
My gaze does not turn toward other men's wives in sensual desire; yet here I have seen the taking of another man's wife.
5.11.40
तस्य प्रादुरभूच्चिन्ता पुनरन्या मनस्विनः।
निश्चितैकान्तचित्तस्य कार्यनिश्चयदर्शिनी ॥ ५.११.४० ॥
Then in the mind of that thoughtful one arose yet another reflection, one that looked upon the firmness of his single-minded resolve and the resolve of his task.
5.11.41
कामं दृष्टा मया सर्वा विश्वस्ता रावणस्त्रियः।
न तु मे मनसा किंचिद् वैकृत्यमुपपद्यते ॥ ५.११.४१ ॥
It is true I have seen all of Rāvaṇa's women, sleeping unguarded; yet no disturbance has arisen in my mind.
5.11.42
मनो हि हेतुः सर्वेषामिन्द्रियाणां प्रवर्तने।
शुभाशुभास्ववस्थासु तच्च मे सुव्यवस्थितम् ॥ ५.११.४२ ॥
The mind is the cause of all the senses' activity; in good and evil conditions alike it stands well-governed within me.
5.11.43
नान्यत्र हि मया शक्या वैदेही परिमार्गितुम्।
स्त्रियो हि स्त्रीषु दृश्यन्ते सदा सम्परिमार्गणे ॥ ५.११.४३ ॥
I cannot search for Vaidehī anywhere else, for in a thorough search women are always seen among women.
5.11.44
यस्य सत्त्वस्य या योनिस्तस्यां तत् परिमार्गते।
न शक्यं प्रमदा नष्टा मृगीषु परिमार्गितुम् ॥ ५.११.४४ ॥
A thing is sought in the kind to which its creature belongs; a lost woman cannot be sought among female deer.
5.11.45
तदिदं मार्गितं तावच्छुद्धेन मनसा मया।
रावणान्तःपुरं सर्वं दृश्यते न च जानकी ॥ ५.११.४५ ॥
With a pure mind I have searched all of this so far; I have seen the whole inner apartment of Rāvaṇa, yet Jānakī is not seen.
5.11.46
देवगन्धर्वकन्याश्च नागकन्याश्च वीर्यवान्।
अवेक्षमाणो हनुमान् नैवापश्यत जानकीम् ॥ ५.११.४६ ॥
Mighty Hanumān looked upon the daughters of gods and gandharvas and the daughters of serpents, but he did not see Jānakī.
5.11.47
तामपश्यन् कपिस्तत्र पश्यंश्चान्या वरस्त्रियः।
अपक्रम्य तदा वीरः प्रस्थातुमुपचक्रमे ॥ ५.११.४७ ॥
Not seeing her there, and looking at the other excellent women, the hero monkey then withdrew and began to set out.
5.11.48
स भूयः सर्वतः श्रीमान् मारुतिर्यत्नमाश्रितः।
आपानभूमिमुत्सृज्य तां विचेतुं प्रचक्रमे ॥ ५.११.४८ ॥
That splendid son of Māruta, again making effort everywhere, left the drinking-hall and began to search for her.
