स तां परिवृतां दीनां निरानन्दां तपस्विनीम्।
साकारैर्मधुरैर्वाक्यैर्न्यदर्शयत रावणः ॥ ५.२०.१ ॥
Surrounded, wretched, and joyless, the ascetic woman was addressed by Rāvaṇa with sweet and courteous words, displaying himself to her.
5.20.2
मां दृष्ट्वा नागनासोरु गूहमाना स्तनोदरम्।
अदर्शनमिवात्मानं भयान्नेतुं त्वमिच्छसि ॥ ५.२०.२ ॥
Seeing me, O you with thighs like an elephant's trunk, covering your breasts and belly, you seem to wish to make yourself unseen out of fear.
5.20.3
कामये त्वां विशालाक्षि बहु मन्यस्व मां प्रिये।
सर्वांगगुणसम्पन्ने सर्वलोकमनोहरे ॥ ५.२०.३ ॥
I desire you, O wide-eyed one. Hold me in great esteem, O beloved, you who are endowed with every good quality and who charm the hearts of all worlds.
5.20.4
नेह किञ्चिन्मनुष्या वा राक्षसाः कामरूपिणः।
व्यपसर्पतु ते सीते भयं मत्तः समुत्थितम् ॥ ५.२०.४ ॥
Here there is no human or rākṣasa who can take any shape at will. Let the fear that has arisen in you from me depart, O Sītā.
5.20.5
स्वधर्मो रक्षसां भीरु सर्वदैव न संशयः।
गमनं वा परस्त्रीणां हरणं सम्प्रमथ्य वा ॥ ५.२०.५ ॥
O timid one, the proper duty of rākṣasas is always this, without doubt: to go to the wives of others, or to seize them by force.
5.20.6
एवं चैवमकामां त्वां न च स्प्रक्ष्यामि मैथिलि।
कामं कामः शरीरे मे यथाकामं प्रवर्तताम् ॥ ५.२०.६ ॥
Thus, since you are unwilling, I will not touch you, O Maithilī. Let desire act within my body as it wishes.
5.20.7
देवि नेह भयं कार्यं मयि विश्वसिहि प्रिये।
प्रणयस्व च तत्त्वेन मैवं भूः शोकलालसा ॥ ५.२०.७ ॥
O goddess, do not be afraid here. O beloved, trust me. Accept love in truth; do not become greedy for grief in this way.
5.20.8
एकवेणी अधःशय्या ध्यानं मलिनमम्बरम्।
अस्थानेऽप्युपवासश्च नैतान्यौपयिकानि ते ॥ ५.२०.८ ॥
A single braid, sleeping on the ground, meditation, soiled garments, and fasting in an unfit place — these are not suitable for you.
5.20.9
विचित्राणि च माल्यानि चन्दनान्यगुरूणि च।
विविधानि च वासांसि दिव्यान्याभरणानि च ॥ ५.२०.९ ॥
Varied garlands, sandal paste and aloe, many kinds of garments, and divine ornaments as well.

स्त्रीरत्नमसि मैवं भूः कुरु गात्रेषु भूषणम्।
मां प्राप्य हि कथं वा स्यास्त्वमनर्हा सुविग्रहे ॥ ५.२०.११ ॥
You are the jewel among women; do not become thus. Adorn your limbs with ornaments. Having obtained me, how could you remain unworthy, O fair-limbed one?
5.20.12
इदं ते चारु संजातं यौवनं ह्यतिवर्तते।
यदतीतं पुनर्नैति स्रोतः स्रोतस्विनामिव ॥ ५.२०.१२ ॥
This lovely youth of yours has come, and it is passing away. What has passed does not return again, like the current of rivers.

नहि रूपोपमा ह्यन्या तवास्ति शुभदर्शने ॥ ५.२०.१३ ॥
I think the Creator of forms, the maker of the world, has ceased after making you; O you of auspicious sight, there is no other comparison for your beauty.

त्वां समासाद्य वैदेहि रूपयौवनशालिनीम्।
कः पुनर्नातिवर्तेत साक्षादपि पितामहः ॥ ५.२०.१४ ॥
O Vaidehī, adorned with beauty and youth, having approached you, who, even directly, would not transgress—not even the grandfather himself?
5.20.15
यद् यत् पश्यामि ते गात्रं शीतांशुसदृशानने।
तस्मिंस्तस्मिन् पृथुश्रोणि चक्षुर्मम निबध्यते ॥ ५.२०.१५ ॥
Whichever limb of yours I look at, O moon-faced one, O broad-hipped one, there my eye becomes fixed.
5.20.16
भव मैथिलि भार्या मे मोहमेतं विसर्जय।

Again and again in battle, defeated by me, with their banners crushed, gods and demons have been unable to stand against my ranks.

5.20.26
निक्षिप्तविजयो रामो गतश्रीर्वनगोचरः।
व्रती स्थण्डिलशायी च शंके जीवति वा न वा ॥ ५.२०.२६ ॥
Rāma, who has cast away victory, bereft of splendour, roaming the forest, bound by vows, sleeping on the bare ground, I suspect whether he is alive or not.
5.20.27
नहि वैदेहि रामस्त्वां द्रष्टुं वाप्युपलभ्यते।
पुरोबलाकैरसितैर्मेघैर्ज्योत्स्नामिवावृताम् ॥ ५.२०.२७ ॥
Indeed, O Vaidehī, Rāma cannot see you nor even reach you, as moonlight is veiled by dark clouds with white cranes before them.

हिरण्यकशिपुः कीर्तिमिन्द्रहस्तगतामिव ॥ ५.२०.२८ ॥
Nor can Rāghava obtain you from my hand, as Hiraṇyakaśipu could not regain fame once it had passed into Indra's hand.

चारुस्मिते चारुदति चारुनेत्रे विलासिनि।
मनो हरसि मे भीरु सुपर्णः पन्नगं यथा ॥ ५.२०.२९ ॥
O lovely-smiling one, lovely-toothed, lovely-eyed, playful, timid one, you steal my mind as Suparṇa seizes a serpent.

यावत्यो मम सर्वासामैश्वर्यं कुरु जानकि ॥ ५.२०.३१ ॥
Of all the women who dwell in my inner apartments, endowed with every virtue, as many as there are—take the sovereignty over all of them, O Jānakī.

तास्त्वां परिचरिष्यन्ति श्रियमप्सरसो यथा ॥ ५.२०.३२ ॥

विहर मया सह भीरु काननानि ॥ ५.२०.३६ ॥
Through groves born on the sea-shore, thick with rows of blossoming trees and humming with bees, roam with me, O timid one, your limbs adorned with pure golden necklaces.
