तं मणिं हृदये कृत्वा रुरोद सहलक्ष्मणः ॥ ५.६६.१ ॥
Thus addressed by Hanumān, Rāma, son of Daśaratha, placed that jewel to his heart and wept, together with Lakṣmaṇa.

नेत्राभ्यामश्रुपूर्णाभ्यां सुग्रीवमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ५.६६.२ ॥
Seeing that excellent jewel, Rāghava, worn down by grief, with eyes full of tears, spoke these words to Sugrīva.

यथैव धेनुः स्रवति स्नेहाद् वत्सस्य वत्सला।
तथा ममापि हृदयं मणिश्रेष्ठस्य दर्शनात् ॥ ५.६६.३ ॥
As a loving cow, out of affection for her calf, lets her milk flow, so too my heart flows at the sight of this excellent jewel.

अद्यास्य दर्शनेनाहं प्राप्तां तामिव चिन्तये ॥ ५.६६.७ ॥
This jewel used to shine upon the head of my beloved. Seeing it today, I feel as though I have found her herself.
5.66.8
किमाह सीता वैदेही ब्रूहि सौम्य पुनः पुनः।
परासुमिव तोयेन सिञ्चन्ती वाक्यवारिणा ॥ ५.६६.८ ॥
O gentle one, what did Sītā the Vaidehī say? Tell me again and again, sprinkling me with the water of your words, as one sprinkles water on a man nearly dead.
5.66.9
इतस्तु किं दुःखतरं यदिमं वारिसम्भवम्।
मणिं पश्यामि सौमित्रे वैदेहीमागतां विना ॥ ५.६६.९ ॥
O Saumitri, what sorrow could be greater than this: that I see this water-born jewel, yet Vaidehī is not here.

चिरं जीवति वैदेही यदि मासं धरिष्यति।
क्षणं वीर न जीवेयं विना तामसितेक्षणाम् ॥ ५.६६.१० ॥
If Vaidehī can keep her life for a month, she will live long. O hero, without that dark-eyed one I could not live even for a moment.

नय मामपि तं देशं यत्र दृष्टा मम प्रिया।
न तिष्ठेयं क्षणमपि प्रवृत्तिमुपलभ्य च ॥ ५.६६.११ ॥
Take me also to that place where my beloved was seen. Having received news of her, I could not stand still even for a moment.
5.66.12
कथं सा मम सुश्रोणी भीरुभीरुः सती तदा।
भयावहानां घोराणां मध्ये तिष्ठति रक्षसाम् ॥ ५.६६.१२ ॥
How is she, my fair-hipped one, most timid and faithful, standing now among the terrible rākṣasas who bring fear?
5.66.13
शारदस्तिमिरोन्मुक्तो नूनं चन्द्र इवाम्बुदैः।
आवृतो वदनं तस्या न विराजति साम्प्रतम् ॥ ५.६६.१३ ॥
Like an autumn moon freed from darkness yet veiled by clouds, her face does not shine now.
5.66.14
किमाह सीता हनुमंस्तत्त्वतः कथयस्व मे।
एतेन खलु जीविष्ये भेषजेनातुरो यथा ॥ ५.६६.१४ ॥
Hanumān, what did Sītā say? Tell me truly; by this alone I shall live, as the sick man lives by medicine.
5.66.15
मधुरा मधुरालापा किमाह मम भामिनी।
मद्विहीना वरारोहा हनुमन् कथयस्व मे।
दुःखाद् दुःखतरं प्राप्य कथं जीवति जानकी ॥ ५.६६.१५ ॥
What did my sweet-spoken lady say? Tell me, Hanumān, she of the fair hips, deprived of me. Having reached sorrow greater than sorrow, how does Jānakī still live?
