अहो स्वामिनि ते भक्तिरहो वीर्यमहो धृतिः।दिष्ट्या दृष्टा त्वया देवी रामपत्नी यशस्विनी।।।।दिष्ट्या त्यक्ष्यति काकुत्स्थ श्शोकं सीतावियोगजम्।
aho svāmini te bhaktir aho vīryam aho dhṛtiḥ |
diṣṭyā dṛṣṭā tvayā devī rāmapatnī yaśasvinī ||
diṣṭyā tyakṣyati kākutsthaḥ śokaṃ sītāviyogajam |
Ach, wie groß ist deine Hingabe an deinen Herrn; ach, deine Tapferkeit und deine standhafte Ausdauer! Durch glückliche Fügung hast du die ruhmreiche Königin gesehen, Rāmas Gemahlin. Durch dieselbe Gunst wird der Kakutstha den Kummer abwerfen, der aus der Trennung von Sītā geboren ist.
"O! your devotion to the king, O! your valour, fortitude and courage is admirable. You could see Rama's wife, an illustrious lady. This is a matter of our good luck. Rama will (now) shed the sorrow due to separation from Sita.
