राघवाद्धि भयं घोरं राक्षसानामुपस्थितम् ॥ ५.२७.४५ ॥
O rākṣasīs, though she has been reviled, beseech her — what is gained by the desire to speak? From Rāghava a terrible fear has come upon the rākṣasas.

अलमेषा परित्रातुं राक्षस्यो महतो भयात् ॥ ५.२७.४६ ॥
Maithilī, the daughter of Janaka, is pleased by prostration; she alone is able to protect you, O rākṣasīs, from this great fear.

अदुःखार्हामिमां देवीं वैहायसमुपस्थिताम् ॥ ५.२७.४८ ॥

अकस्मादेव वैदेह्या बाहुरेकः प्रकम्पते ॥ ५.२७.५१ ॥
Her right shoulder twitches slightly with joy, and suddenly one of Vaidehī's left arms trembles.
5.27.52
करेणुहस्तप्रतिमः सव्यश्चोरुरनुत्तमः।
वेपन् कथयतीवास्या राघवं पुरतः स्थितम् ॥ ५.२७.५२ ॥
Her left thigh, like an elephant's trunk, is most excellent; trembling, it seems to speak of Rāghava standing before her.
5.27.53
पक्षी च शाखानिलयं प्रविष्टः
पुनः पुनश्चोत्तमसान्त्ववादी।
सुस्वागतां वाचमुदीरयाणः
पुनः पुनश्चोदयतीव हृष्टः ॥ ५.२७.५३ ॥
That bird dwelling in the branches enters again and again, speaking most consoling words, and, as though delighted, urges her on again and again.

अवोचद् यदि तत् तथ्यं भवेयं शरणं हि वः ॥ ५.२७.५४ ॥
Then that modest young woman, rejoicing in her husband's victory, said: 'If this is true, I shall indeed be a refuge for you.'
