5.32.1
ततः शाखान्तरे लीनं दृष्ट्वा चलितमानसा।
वेष्टितार्जुनवस्त्रं तं विद्युत्संघातपिंगलम् ॥ ५.३२.१ ॥
Then, seeing him hidden among the branches, her mind disturbed, she looked at him, wrapped in a white cloth, tawny like a mass of lightning.
5.32.2
सा ददर्श कपिं तत्र प्रश्रितं प्रियवादिनम्।
फुल्लाशोकोत्कराभासं तप्तचामीकरेक्षणम् ॥ ५.३२.२ ॥
There she saw the monkey, sitting humbly, speaking gently, resembling a heap of blossoming aśoka flowers, with eyes like heated gold.
5.32.3
साथ दृष्ट्वा हरिश्रेष्ठं विनीतवदवस्थितम्।
मैथिली चिन्तयामास विस्मयं परमं गता ॥ ५.३२.३ ॥
Then, seeing the best of monkeys standing humbly, Maithilī reflected, and was overcome with great wonder.
5.32.4
अहो भीममिदं सत्त्वं वानरस्य दुरासदम्।
दुर्निरीक्ष्यमिदं मत्वा पुनरेव मुमोह सा ॥ ५.३२.४ ॥
Ah! This monkey's form is terrible and hard to approach, hard even to look upon. Thinking so, she fainted again.
5.32.5
विललाप भृशं सीता करुणं भयमोहिता।
राम रामेति दुःखार्ता लक्ष्मणेति च भामिनी ॥ ५.३२.५ ॥
Bewildered by fear and afflicted with grief, the radiant Sītā lamented piteously, crying, "Rāma, Rāma!" and "Lakṣmaṇa!"
5.32.6
रुरोद सहसा सीता मन्दमन्दस्वरा सती।
साथ दृष्ट्वा हरिवरं विनीतवदुपागतम्।
मैथिली चिन्तयामास स्वप्नोऽयमिति भामिनी ॥ ५.३२.६ ॥
The virtuous Sītā suddenly wept in a faint, low voice. Then, seeing the best of monkeys approach humbly, Maithilī thought, "Is this a dream?" — so the radiant lady reflected.
5.32.7
सा वीक्षमाणा पृथुभुग्नवक्त्रं
शाखामृगेन्द्रस्य यथोक्तकारम्।
ददर्श पिंगप्रवरं महार्हं
वातात्मजं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम् ॥ ५.३२.७ ॥
She gazed upon him, broad and bent of face, the monkey-lord's doer of commands, and she saw the tawny, precious son of the Wind, foremost among the wise.
5.32.8
सा तं समीक्ष्यैव भृशं विपन्ना
गतासुकल्पेव बभूव सीता।
चिरेण संज्ञां प्रतिलभ्य चैवं
विचिन्तयामास विशालनेत्रा ॥ ५.३२.८ ॥
Seeing him, she was greatly overcome and became as one whose breath has departed. After a long time she regained consciousness and, wide-eyed, reflected thus.
5.32.9
स्वप्नो मयायं विकृतोऽद्य दृष्टः
शाखामृगः शास्त्रगणैर्निषिद्धः।
स्वस्त्यस्तु रामाय सलक्ष्मणाय
तथा पितुर्मे जनकस्य राज्ञः ॥ ५.३२.९ ॥
Today I have seen this dream, a distorted monkey which the scriptures forbid. May there be well-being for Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, and likewise for my father, King Janaka.
5.32.10
स्वप्नो हि नायं नहि मेऽस्ति निद्रा
शोकेन दुःखेन च पीडितायाः।
सुखं हि मे नास्ति यतो विहीना
तेनेन्दुपूर्णप्रतिमाननेन ॥ ५.३२.१० ॥
This is no dream, nor have I slept. Afflicted by sorrow and grief I have no happiness, for I am parted from him whose face is like the full moon.
5.32.11
रामेति रामेति सदैव बुद्ध्या
विचिन्त्य वाचा ब्रुवती तमेव।
तस्यानुरूपं च कथां तदर्था-
मेवं प्रपश्यामि तथा शृणोमि ॥ ५.३२.११ ॥
Ever thinking of him in my mind, speaking his name, 'Rāma, Rāma,' and telling the story fitting him and concerning him alone, thus do I see and thus do I hear.
5.32.12
अहं हि तस्याद्य मनोभवेन
सम्पीडिता तद्गतसर्वभावा।
विचिन्तयन्ती सततं तमेव
तथैव पश्यामि तथा शृणोमि ॥ ५.३२.१२ ॥
Today I am tormented by Manobhava (the god of love) because of him; all my feelings are fixed on him. Constantly thinking of him alone, I see him thus and I hear him thus.
5.32.13
मनोरथः स्यादिति चिन्तयामि
तथापि बुद्ध्यापि वितर्कयामि।
किं कारणं तस्य हि नास्ति रूपं
सुव्यक्तरूपश्च वदत्ययं माम् ॥ ५.३२.१३ ॥
I think it may be merely an illusion born of my desire; yet I reason with my intellect. He has no form, so why does this one of clear form speak to me?
5.32.14
नमोऽस्तु वाचस्पतये सवज्रिणे
स्वयम्भुवे चैव हुताशनाय।
अनेन चोक्तं यदिदं ममाग्रतो
वनौकसा तच्च तथास्तु नान्यथा ॥ ५.३२.१४ ॥
Homage to Bṛhaspati, lord of speech; homage to Indra, the wielder of the thunderbolt, to the self-existent Brahmā, and also to Agni. May what this forest-dweller has spoken before me come to pass just so, and not otherwise.
