मन्निमित्तेन मानार्हः कच्चिच्छोकेन राघवः।कच्चिन्नान्यमना रामः कच्चिन्मां तारयिष्यति।।।।
man-nimittena mānārhaḥ kaccic chokena rāghavaḥ | kaccin nānyamanā rāmaḥ kaccin māṃ tārayiṣyati ||

"I hope respectable Rama is not too absent-minded for being immersed in sorrow on my account. Hope he will save me.
