वन्यं सुविहितं नित्यं भक्तमश्नाति पञ्चमम् ॥ ५.३६.४१ ॥

राघवोऽपनयेद् गात्रात् त्वद्गतेनान्तरात्मना ॥ ५.३६.४२ ॥
Rāghava does not even brush away gnats, mosquitoes, insects, or creeping creatures from his body, for his inner self is turned toward you.

नित्यं ध्यानपरो रामो नित्यं शोकपरायणः।
नान्यच्चिन्तयते किंचित् स तु कामवशं गतः ॥ ५.३६.४३ ॥
Rāma is always intent on meditation and always given over to sorrow. He thinks of nothing else; he has fallen under the power of desire.

स्त्वामेव सीतेत्यभिभाषमाणः।
धृतव्रतो राजसुतो महात्मा
तवैव लाभाय कृतप्रयत्नः ॥ ५.३६.४६ ॥
O goddess, ever tormented, he speaks to you alone, calling you "Sītā." That great-souled prince, firm in his vow, is striving only to win you.
5.36.47
सा रामसंकीर्तनवीतशोका
रामस्य शोकेन समानशोका।
शरन्मुखेनाम्बुदशेषचन्द्रा
निशेव वैदेहसुता बभूव ॥ ५.३६.४७ ॥
Freed from grief by recalling Rāma, and sharing his sorrow, the daughter of Videha became like a night at the beginning of autumn, with the moon left behind among the clouds.
