गतास्तु दक्षिणामाशां ये वै वानरपुड्रवा: । आशावांस्तेषु काकुत्स्थ: प्राणानातों5भ्यधारयत्,जो प्रमुख वानर दक्षिण दिशाकी ओर गये थे, उन्हींसे सीताका वास्तविक समाचार मिलनेकी आशा बँधी हुई थी, इसीलिये व्यथित होनेपर भी श्रीरामचन्द्रजी अपने प्राणोंको धारण किये रहे
Translation
But it was upon those foremost monkeys who had gone toward the southern quarter that Kakutstha (Rama) fixed his hope of receiving Sītā’s true tidings; and therefore, though stricken with anguish, he still sustained his life and endured.
