«Que toute ta peine s’évanouisse ; l’auspice se tient devant toi. Assurément Lakṣmī se tourne vers toi ; écoute de moi des paroles chères et réconfortantes.»
"O Sita! One who is endowed with long rounded arms and broad chest, a valorous one, a glorious wielder of bow and powerful Rama along with his brother Lakshmana, is always a protector of himself and all surrounding him. He is a knower of sastras of propriety. Raghava is majestic with inconceivable courage and a destroyer of foes. He will not be killed."
