सावित्री-यमसंवादः

Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān

मारुतेन सुशीतेन सुखेनामृतगन्धिना । सेव्यमानो वने तस्मिन्‌ जगाम मनसा प्रियाम्‌,उस वनमें अमृतकी-सी सुगन्ध लिये मन्द गतिसे प्रवाहित होनेवाली सुखद शीतल वायुका स्पर्श पाकर श्रीरामचन्द्रजी मन-ही-मन अपनी प्रिया सीताका चिन्तन करने लगे

mārutena suśītena sukhena amṛtagandhinā | sevyamāno vane tasmin jagāma manasā priyām ||

その森で、甘露のごとき香りを帯びた、心地よく冷ややかな微風がゆるやかに流れて身を包むと、ラーマの心は内へと沈み、愛しきシーターを思い続けた。
