Aṅgada Re-energizes the Southern Search Party
वनानि गिरयो नद्यो दुर्गाणि गहनानि च।दर्यो गिरिगुहाश्चैव विचितानि समन्ततः।।।।तत्र तत्र सहास्माभिर्जानकी न च दृश्यते।तद्वा रक्षो हृता येन सीता सुरसुतोपमा।।।।

'We have searched here, there, everywhere, in dense forests, hills, forts, impenetrable caverns and mountain ranges. But we could find neither Janaki who is like a goddess nor the demon who abducted her.
