6.45.24
स वीरशयने शिश्येऽविज्यमाविध्य कार्मुकम्।
भिन्नमुष्टिपरीणाहं त्रिनतं रुक्मभूषितम् ॥ ६.४५.२४ ॥

स तत्र लक्ष्मणो दृष्ट्वा निराशो जीवितेऽभवत् ॥ ६.४५.२५ ॥

Bound, the two lay on the hero's bed; the monkeys gathered and stood around them, and led by the son of the Wind, they were sorely afflicted with grief.
