घोरेण शरबन्धेन बद्धौ दशरथात्मजौ।
निःश्वसन्तौ यथा नागौ शयानौ रुधिरोक्षितौ ॥ ६.४९.१ ॥
Bound in the terrible bond of arrows, the two sons of Daśaratha lay drenched in blood, breathing heavily like two serpents.

न लक्ष्मणसमो भ्राता सचिवः साम्परायिकः ॥ ६.४९.६ ॥
A woman like Sītā may be found in the mortal world, if one searches; but a brother like Lakṣmaṇa, a helper and a companion in battle, cannot be found.

परित्यक्ष्याम्यहं प्राणान् वानराणां तु पश्यताम्।

कथमम्बां सुमित्रां च पुत्रदर्शनलालसाम् ॥ ६.४९.८ ॥

धिङ्मां दुष्कृतकर्माणमनार्यं यत्कृते ह्यसौ।
लक्ष्मणः पतितः शेते शरतल्पे गतासुवत् ॥ ६.४९.१२ ॥
Shame on me, a doer of evil deeds, an ignoble man, on whose account Lakṣmaṇa has fallen and lies on a bed of arrows as if lifeless.

त्वं नित्यं सुविषण्णं मामाश्वासयसि लक्ष्मण।
गतासुर्नाद्य शक्तोऽसि मामार्तमभिभाषितुम् ॥ ६.४९.१३ ॥
Lakṣmaṇa, though always deeply grieved, you used to comfort me; now that your life-breath has departed, you are unable to speak to me in my distress.

यन्मया न कृतो राजा राक्षसानां विभीषणः ॥ ६.४९.२२ ॥
That vain lamentation will surely burn me, there is no doubt, because I did not make Vibhīṣaṇa king of the rākṣasas.
6.49.23
अस्मिन् मुहूर्ते सुग्रीव प्रतियातुमितोऽर्हसि।
मत्वा हीनं मया राजन् रावणोऽभिभविष्यति ॥ ६.४९.२३ ॥
O Sugrīva, at this very moment you should return from here, for, O king, thinking me bereft, Rāvaṇa will overpower you.

अङ्गदेन कृतं कर्म मैन्देन द्विविदेन च।
युद्धं केसरिणा संख्ये घोरं सम्पातिना कृतम् ॥ ६.४९.२६ ॥
Aṅgada performed the deed, and Maindа and Dvivida as well. In battle Kesarin and Sampāti fought a fierce fight.

अन्यैश्च हरिभिर्युद्धं मदर्थे त्यक्तजीवितैः ॥ ६.४९.२७ ॥
Gavaya, Gavākṣa, Śarabha, Gaja and the other monkeys fought in battle for my sake, having given up their lives.

यत्तु शक्यं वयस्येन सुहृदा वा परं मम ॥ ६.४९.२८ ॥
O Sugrīva, fate cannot be overcome by humans. But what was possible for a friend or well-wisher to do for me has been done.

अनुज्ञाता मया सर्वे यथेष्टं गन्तुमर्हथ।
शुश्रुवुस्तस्य ये सर्वे वानराः परिदेवितम् ॥ ६.४९.३० ॥
I give all of you leave; you may go wherever you wish. All the monkeys who heard his lament.
6.49.31
वर्तयांचक्रिरेऽश्रूणि नेत्रैः कृष्णेतरेक्षणाः ॥ ६.४९.३१ ॥
The vanaras, with eyes not dark, shed tears from their eyes.
